Dear Makarius and René,

However, testing Isabelle_20-Sep-2011 with Emacs 23.3, there seems to be a 
problem for Mac OS Lion users:
Many special characters like ==> \in, => are not displayed correctly which 
makes working inconvenient. Under

I believe I know this bug. It's an emacs problem, and should be fixed in emacs 23.4 once it becomes available. That said I don't know of any elisp code other than ProofGeneral that tickles this bug. As far as Isabell/PG are concerned, it's not a new problem -- it also affects Isabelle2011. See

 http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=8703

(Note that I encountered this problem with Linux -- I hope that the MacOS version uses the same code, but I have not tested this theory.)

What is odd about it: with the same Emacs-23.2.1 on Mac OS X the problem only occurs on Lion, not Snow Leopard (which I have started to re-install today on my desktop system).

Since Emacs-23.2.1 has only a *few* such drop-outs on Lion, but Emacs-23.3 has *many*, I have switched back to the older version in the app bundle on http://isabelle.in.tum.de/website-Isabelle2011-1-RC1/
