Today's CVS trunk on MS-Windows, font backend disabled:
emacs -Q
C-u C-h t Russian RET
Now go to any Cyrillic letter and type "C-u C-x =". Surprisingly, I
see this:
character: Д (1044, #o2024, #x414)
preferred charset: gb18030 (GB18030)
code point: 0xA7A5
syntax: w which means: word
category: Y:Cyrillic characters of 2-byte character sets c:Chinese
h:Korean j:Japanese y:Cyrillic
buffer code: #xD0 #x94
file code: #xE4 (encoded by coding system cyrillic-koi8-unix)
display: by this font (glyph code)
-outline-Courier New-normal-r-normal-normal-13-97-96-96-c-*-koi8-r (#x414)
For comparison, Emacs 22.1 says this:
character: Д (3636, #o7064, #xe34, U+0414)
charset: cyrillic-iso8859-5
(Right-Hand Part of Latin/Cyrillic Alphabet (ISO/IEC 8859-5): ISO-IR-144.)
code point: #x34
syntax: w which means: word
category: y:Cyrillic
buffer code: #x8C #xB4
file code: #xE4 (encoded by coding system cyrillic-koi8-unix)
display: by this font (glyph code)
-outline-Courier New-normal-r-normal-normal-13-97-96-96-c-*-iso8859-5 (#x414)
This isn't limited to Cyrillic scripts in any way: I see similar
display with other non-ASCII characters, such as Latin-1, including in
etc/HELLO: they all claim GB18030 as preferred charset and mention CJK
character sets in the category: line.
If this is a feature, can someone explain it?
