@c Ordinarily, Texinfo files have the extension .texi. But texinfo.texi
@c clashes with texinfo.tex on 8.3 filesystems, so we use texinfo.txi.

address@hidden Computer Modern fonts
In @TeX{} output, the characters which are supported in the standard
Computer Modern fonts are output accordingly. (For example, this
means using constructed accents rather than precomposed glyphs.)
Using a missing character generates a warning message, as does
specifying an unimplemented encoding.
+Although modern @TeX{} systems support nearly every script in use in
+the world, this wide-ranging support is not available in
address@hidden, and it's not feasible to duplicate or incorporate
+all that effort. Our plan to support other scripts is to create a
address@hidden backend to @command{texi2any}, where the support is already
+present.
