The problem I was having was that my cursor (Orchid) was obscuring the
underlying character in Emacs, but only when the underlying text had
no special attributes set. I adapted a solution I found on Usenet
posted by Gareth Owen (Manchester UK), and what works best for me is
to put the following in ~/.emacs:
(set-face-foreground 'default "grey90")
(emacs-version)
"GNU Emacs 20.2.1 (i386-redhat-linux, X toolkit)
of Fri Nov 7 1997 on porky.redhat.com"
