6737 @ccmode{} doesn't support trigraphs. (These are character sequences
6738 such as @samp{??(}, which represents @samp{[}. They date from a time
6739 when some character sets didn't have all the characters that C needs,
6740 and are now utterly obsolete.)

6766 On loading @ccmode{}, sometimes this error message appears:

6772 This is due to a bug in the function @code{eval-after-load} in some
6773 versions of (X)Emacs. It can manifest itself when there is a symbolic
6774 link in the path of the directory which contains (X)Emacs. As a
6775 workaround, put the following into your @file{.emacs} file, fairly
6776 early on:
6777
6778 @example
6779 (defun my-load-cc-fonts ()
6780 (require "cc-fonts"))
