No problem.  What's really strange is that today everything looks much
better.  The normal font looks sharp, there're very few bold chars and I
cannot reproduce the bug with the combined chars in UTF-8-demo.txt.

Looking at the ChangeLogs I cannot find a change that might have fixed
the problems.  Well, yesterday was a bad day anyway -- weather, mood,
work...  Probably I screwed emacs up mentally. ;-)

Bye,
