682 Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion
683
684 You need to specify appropriate charsets for your locale (usually the
685 value of the LANG environment variable) in .Xresources. It looks like
686 XFree86 4.x (the usual server on Linux and *BSD) has some braindamage
687 where .UTF-8 locales will always generate this message, because the
688 XFree86 (font)server doesn't know that UTF-8 will use the ISO10646-1
689 font registry (or a Cmap or something).
690
691 If you are not using a .UTF-8 locale and see this warning, please let
692 xemacs-beta@xemacs.org know about it, so we can add fonts to the
693 appropriate fontsets and stifle this warning. (Unfortunately it's
694 buried in Xlib, so we can't easily get rid of it otherwise.)
