Nothing that interesting.

The code to work out which font to use for a given character under Xft (as
under server-side X11, as under Win32, though not under Carbon, because it’s
passed off to the OS) is, shall we say, less than optimal. That message
*probably* means that the undecided coding-system-sniffing has said to
itself that the binary crap that is arriving in the GDB buffer looks more
like an eight-bit ISO 2022 coding system than anything else, which is very
presumptuous of it. And on interpreting it as eight-bit ISO 2022 with escape
sequences, some of the decoded characters mapped into the IPA Mule character
set, and redisplay looked at them and cried “help mommy!”.
