Every character has a syntax entry associated with it, and it makes
sense for C-h s to display those associations.  To avoid having a
syntax entry for every possible character (thousands of them), syntax
entries can be associated with charsets, specific rows of charsets, or
actual characters.

With so much information to display, there is no completely
satisfactory way to display it all.  One possibility is to separate
out the Mule information, or to avoid displaying a warning for the
very common case that not all the fonts are available.
