This bug report is not about setting up _my_ computer. It's an attempt
to make Emacs compatible with what's out there in the field. Emacs
should not require a special console setup to display error and warning
messages properly.
I think the font in use on my new box must be part of Linux itself,
rather than being a default chosen by Gentoo and then loaded during
booting. Emacs ought to be compatible with Linux.
Why are these curly quotes being output without first checking that the
device they're being output to can display them?
