+** `font-lock-comment-face' no longer differs from the default on
+displays with fewer than 16 colors and dark background (e.g. older
+xterms and the Linux console).  On such displays, only the comment
+delimiters will appear to be fontified (in the new face
+`font-lock-comment-delimiter-face').  To restore the old appearance,
+customize `font-lock-comment-face'. Another alternative is to use a
+newer terminal emulator that supports more colors (256 is now common).
+For example, for xterm compatible emulators that support 256 colors,
+you can run emacs like this: 
+env TERM=xterm-256color emacs -nw
