1.48.1. RHBA-2011:0717: bug fix update

Updated emacs packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

GNU Emacs is a powerful, customizable, self-documenting text editor. It provides special code editing features, a scripting language (elisp), and the capability to read email and news.

This update fixes the following bugs:

Prior to this update, Emacs incorrectly displayed Japanese documents using JIS X 0213:2004 (JIS2004) compliant fonts, even though other parts of the system prefer and use older fonts. This update lowers the priority of JIS X 0213:2004 to ensure the consistent use of fonts in the system. (BZ#612385)
Previously, the emacs packages required the aspell and hunspell spell checkers to be installed. Since the use of a spell checker is completely optional, this update removes aspell and hunspell from the list of dependencies, so that Emacs can now be installed without these packages. (BZ#613759)

All users of emacs are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs.
