diff README.multi-tty @ 83300:6deb860255f3

Support for ttys with different character locale settings. * lisp/server.el (server-process-filter): Set locale environment variables from client while creating tty frames. * lisp/faces.el (tty-create-frame-with-faces): Call set-locale-environment. * lisp/international/mule-cmds.el (set-display-table-and-terminal-coding-system): Add DISPLAY parameter. Pass it to set-terminal-coding-system. (set-locale-environment): Add DISPLAY parameter. git-archimport-id: [e-mail]--2004/emacs--multi-tty--0--patch-340
