 * Incompatible Lisp Changes in Emacs 24.3

+every Emacs run.  Use (random S), where S is a string, to set the
+random seed to a value based on S, in order to get a repeatable
+sequence in later calls.

 font name as a string.  Whether it returns a font spec or a font name
 depends on the graphical library.
