Small but important fixes needed in existing features:
* Bring back the feature of showing the part of the buffer that is a problem
for the use of the preferred coding systems.
* Make compile.el record the markers that point to error loci
on text properties in the error message lines.
Important features:
* Provide user-friendly ways to list all available font families,
display a font as a sample, etc.

decent single definition of RTF?]

use until the menus can display multilingual text. It also doesn't

as documentation, e.g. in command names and Custom. -- fx]

* Make the Lucid menu widget display multilingual text. [This
probably needs to be done from actual Emacs buffers, either directly
in the menu or by rendering in an unmapped window and copying the
pixels. Note that the relevant Xlib functions assume a specific
locale; that isn't good enough even if X can render the arbitrary
text, which it often can't as far as I can tell. -- fx]
* Remove the limitation that window and frame widths and heights can
be only full columns/lines.

* Provide a means to extract image-relative coordinates from mouse
clicks on images. (Needed for W3, at least.) Also useful for W3
and Gnus: allow images to scroll properly.
* Convert the XPM bitmaps to PPM, replace the PBMs with them and scrap
the XPMs so that the colour versions work generally. (Requires care
with the colour used for the transparent regions.)
* Convenient access to the `values' variable. It would be nice to have an
interface that would show you the printed reps of the elements of the
list in a menu, let you select one of the values, and put it into some
other variable, without changing the value of `values'.
* Fix skip-chars-{for,back}ward to allow character classes.
