In all the cases I can think of, it seems that disp-table.el
gets loaded at startup.
That seems to be due to the following code:
(defun set-display-table-and-terminal-coding-system (language-name)
"Set up the display table and terminal coding system for LANGUAGE-NAME."
(let ((coding (get-language-info language-name 'unibyte-display)))
(if coding
(standard-display-european-internal)
;;; The next line is what does it.
(standard-display-default (if (eq window-system 'pc) 128 160) 255)
(aset standard-display-table 146 nil))
(or (eq window-system 'pc)
(set-terminal-coding-system coding))))
What is the purpose of that line? We could easily rewrite
it not to use disp-table, but we should also explain the reason
why it does what it does.
