On two different GNU/Linux systems I have built Emacs both --with-cairo and without. The non-Cairo builds use Xft as the font backend. On those builds the Ethiopic scripts (Amharic and Tigrinya) in HELLO are displayed with the Goha-Tibeb Zemen font. In the Cairo builds this font is not used for these scripts; instead, on one system they are displayed with a mix of GNU Unifont and mutt-clearlyu, and on the other system, which lacks these fonts, only hex boxes are displayed. Is there something about Goha-Tibeb Zemen that is incompatible with Cairo? Steve Berman
