And it seems to change its = behaviour even inside a session. The same "exotic" character can be = taken from font A the first time and from font B the second time because = in-between GNU Emacs performed some garbage collection and cleared the = cache partially. It's also possible that the first time I used a text = size A and the second time a text size B so that GNU Emacs had to create = two different ad-hoc fontsets. >=20 > So I thought: Let me mount old OS in new and try running the mounted > emacs23.3. > This way I can check whether the emacs 23.3 -> 23.4 is broken or > something else. >=20 > However I get: >=20 > $ /mnt/p/usr/bin/emacs23 > Warning: arch-dependent data dir (/usr/lib/emacs/23.3/i486-linux-gnu/) > does not exist. Isn't /usr/lib/emacs/23.3 now /mnt/p/usr/lib/emacs/23.3?
