Subject: 24.3.50; on PPC Tiger the HELLO buffer shows no non-Latin characters
Date: Thu, 27 Dec 2012 15:17:05 +0100

Hello!

There are a few exceptions: Greek Γ, IPA ŋ, the • in Mathematics…

The reason is that all glyphs are taken from nil:-apple- 
Latin_Modern_Mono-medium-normal-normal-*-10-*-*-*-p-0-iso10646-1 and  
no other font is tried or used. Switching to a dozen other monospaced  
fonts (for example Monaco, Andale Mono, Courier, Monospace, Bitstream  
Vera Mono, Lucida Sans Typewriter from Java) leads to a frame as wide  
as the scroll-bar. GNU Freefont and Latin Modern from TeX work well.

(This behaviour can also be seen in GNU Emacs 24.2.50, but not in GNU  
Emacs 24.2. A comparison with GNU Emacs 24.3 can be performed in a  
few hours. Maybe Mac OS X, when quite old, brakes the CPU…)
