** Lucid menus and dialogs can display antialiased fonts if Emacs is built
with Xft.  To change font, use X resource faceName, for example:
Emacs.pane.menubar.faceName:  Courier-12
Set faceName to none and use font to use the old X fonts.

** On graphical displays, the mode-line no longer ends in dashes.

** Basic SELinux support has been added.
This requires Emacs to be linked with libselinux at build time.

** Enhanced support for characters that have no glyphs in available fonts
If a character has no glyphs in any of the available fonts, Emacs by
default will display it either as a hexadecimal code in a box or as a
thin 1-pixel space.  In addition to these two methods, Emacs can
display these characters as empty box, as an acronym, or not display
them at all.  To change how these characters are displayed, customize
the variable `glyphless-char-display-control'.

On character terminals these methods are used for characters that
cannot be encoded by the `terminal-coding-system'.

** On graphical displays, the mode-line no longer ends in dashes.
