     Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion
  
 You need to specify appropriate charsets for your locale (usually the
-value of the LANG environment variable) in .Xresources.  It looks like
-XFree86 4.x (the usual server on Linux and *BSD) has some braindamage
-where .UTF-8 locales will always generate this message, because the
-XFree86 (font)server doesn't know that UTF-8 will use the ISO10646-1

 xemacs-beta@xemacs.org know about it, so we can add fonts to the
 appropriate fontsets and stifle this warning.  (Unfortunately it's
 buried in Xlib, so we can't easily get rid of it otherwise.)
