Bug#424631: release-notes: Programs not supporting unicode out of the box.
Package: release-notes
Severity: minor
Dear Stable release team,
I was invited on -devel to submit a bug against the release notes to
mention the fact that emacs does not support unicode out of the
box. The text could be added in section 5 and could be something like
the following.
Packages not configured for Unicode by default.
-----------------------------------------------
Some packages are not configured to use unicode locales by default,
and their usage will be problematic when inputting non-ASCII
characters.
* emacs21, emacs21-nox :
Please refer to the bug number 419490
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=419490) to
instruct emacs to honor the locale setting of the terminal you are
using, and to use Han characters.
Have a nice day,
