Solved New xorg breaks things

K

I installed the new xorg-server-1.14 on a fresh install of FreeBSD 10.1 amd64. I need to edit text files in English, French and Lithuanian using emacs.
I can select each character set by issuing a command setxkbmap [I]xx[/I] where xx is the language us, fr, or lt. The English and French characters display correctly when I type them in but the Lithuanian characters show up as blanks.

Everything worked correctly with xorg-server-1.12.

How can I fix this?
 
After experimenting a little, I discovered when I type Lithuanian characters in a file using emacs, the characters are entered into the file correctly but they are not displayed on the screen. I found out this when I copied the file to another computer that was using an older version of xorg and opened the file with emacs.
 
I've discovered a new problem. When I edit with emacs an HTML file for my website, text that is supposed to be bold disappears.
For example
Code: 
<BR><b>this text disappears</b>
if I delete the <b>, the text reappears

What makes emacs do this?
 
If the text is there, in the file, it's not Emacs that's removing the text.

emacs doesn't do that. Your browser does. So you're going to have to show the actual markup that shows up in your browser.

If you edit a HTML file with html-mode in Emacs text in <b> tags appears bold inside the Emacs buffer. So it is at least feasible that the problem is with Emacs.

kb6rxe Where do you see the problem? In your browser or in Emacs?

Assuming that font locking in Emacs' html-mode is the problem, does the problem persist if you switch to text-mode (M-x text-mode)?
 
If I rename the file filename.html to filename.x, the disappearing HTML text is displayed.
Special Lithuanian and some special French characters do not display.
(doing the M-x text-mode does the same)
