This can happen with CVS versions 1.12.8 and 1.12.9.  Upgrade to CVS
1.12.10 or newer to fix this problem.

** Miscellaneous problems

*** Self-documentation messages are garbled.

This means that the file `etc/DOC-...' doesn't properly correspond
with the Emacs executable.  Redumping Emacs and then installing the
corresponding pair of files should fix the problem.

correct but there is too much vertical spacing between rows,  which
gives the appearance of "double spacing".

To prevent this, turn off the Exceed's "automatic font substitution"
feature (in the font part of the configuration window).

* Internationalization problems

** M-{ does not work on a Spanish PC keyboard.

to be to reduce the level of compiler optimization used during the
build (from -O2 to -O1).  It is possible this is an OpenBSD
GCC problem specific to the macppc architecture, possibly only
occurring with older versions of GCC (e.g. 3.3.5).

** Installation

*** Installing Emacs gets an error running `install-info'.

You need to install a recent version of Texinfo; that package

** Miscellaneous problems

*** Emacs uses 100% of CPU time

This is a known problem with some versions of the Semantic package.
The solution is to upgrade Semantic to version 2.0pre4 (distributed
with CEDET 1.0pre4) or later.

** Subscript/superscript text in TeX is hard to read.

If `tex-fontify-script' is non-nil, tex-mode displays
subscript/superscript text in the faces subscript/superscript, which
are smaller than the normal font and lowered/raised.  With some fonts,
nested superscripts (say) can be hard to read.  Switching to a
different font, or changing your antialiasing setting (on an LCD
screen), can both make the problem disappear.  Alternatively, customize
the following variables: tex-font-script-display (how much to
lower/raise); tex-suscript-height-ratio (how much smaller than
normal); tex-suscript-height-minimum (minimum height).

*** openSUSE 10.3: Segfault in bcopy during dumping.

This is due to a bug in the bcopy implementation in openSUSE 10.3.
It is/will be fixed in an openSUSE update.
