 * Problems with running XEmacs
 ==============================
 ** General
+*** At startup I get a warning on stderr about missing charsets:
+
+    Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion
+
+You need to specify appropriate charsets for your locale (usually the
+value of the LANG environment variable) in .Xresources.  See
+etc/Emacs.ad for the relevant resources (mostly menubar fonts and
+fontsets).  Do not edit this file, it's purely informative.
+
+If you have no satisfactory fonts for iso-8859-1, XEmacs will crash.
+
+It looks like XFree86 4.x (the usual server on Linux and *BSD) has
+some braindamage where .UTF-8 locales will always generate this
+message, because the XFree86 (font)server doesn't know that UTF-8 will
+use the ISO10646-1 font registry (or a Cmap or something).
+
+If you are not using a .UTF-8 locale and see this warning for a
+character set not listed in the default in Emacs.ad, please let
+xemacs-beta@xemacs.org know about it, so we can add fonts to the
+appropriate fontsets and stifle this warning.  (Unfortunately it's
+buried in Xlib, so we can't easily get rid of it otherwise.)

+The default stack size under MacOS/X is rather small (512k as opposed
