Hi!

commands:

- emacs -q --no-site-file
- M-: (setq ps-printer-name "MeinLaserdrucker")
- M-x ps-print-buffer

result in:

=> Emacs 21.4.1: works
=> Emacs 22.2.1: works

=> Emacs 23.0.94.1:

Printer emits page with error message ("---" to separate):

Can you invoke ps-print-buffer with C-u to print to a file from each
of the Emacs versions, and then diff them and post the results here?

Hi Eli,

Sure. See below. It seems that in e23 in the generated postscript code
several numerical values use a ',' as decimal separator, in e21 or e22
it is a '.' which is correct in postscript. The first of that values is
with /LandscapePageHeight.

e22: /LandscapePageHeight 841.8897637795276 def
e23: /LandscapePageHeight 841,8897637795276 def

I used exactly the same environment for the three emacsen.

Regards,
Christoph

What does the following produce? (paste it into *scratch* and press C-j 
to evaluate and print the result)

(format "%s" 1.1)


I can't get this to output anything other than 1.1 myself, but I may be 
missing something in the configuration of my environment that influences it.

Hi Jason,

> (format "%s" 1.1)

Emacs 22.2.1:    "1.1"
Emacs 23.0.94.1: "1.0"

I am a software developer and also able to use the emacs lisp debugger.
So if you instruct me where to look i can also give more detailed
information.

Regards,
Christoph

??? Really?  In my Emacs 23.0.94 it produces "1.1".  "1.0" is in
itself a bug, not sure if it can be related to the original problem or
not.

I suspect some locale-related problem, whereby a decimal point is
printed as a comma.  Can you change the Windows locale (this _is_
Windows, right?) to ENU and see if that makes the problem go away?

Alternatively, look through ps-print.el, find where it produces the
lines that differ, and try debugging to find out where does the comma
come from.

Thanks.

It is kubuntu 09.04.

LANG=de_DE.utf8 emacs -q --no-site-file  ==> 1.0
LANG=en_US.utf-8 emacs -q --no-site-file ==> 1.1

Mhmm - as you said - strange. Can you reproduce this using my locale
setting?

At least i have a workaround now.

Christoph

Not on this machine:

   Linux fencepost 2.6.16.29-xen #1 SMP Wed Dec 6 07:32:36 EST 2006 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I get "1.1" with LANG=de_DE.utf8 as well.

Can you spot which Emacs primitive or subroutine produces the comma
separators?

I think ps-print should never use localized decimals, does anyone
thinks otherwise?

Looks like the setlocale call in emacs.c:fixup_locale is not working.

You didn't mean it was Emacs's fault, right?  Because emacs.c didn't
change a bit since 23.0.92.

Hi Andreas,

In float_to_string the lisp object used conatins 1.0, not 1.1. So i
assume that the error with the number conversion happens when converting
the string "1.1" to the float lisp object.

Has anyone a hint where this happens?

Christoph

float_to_string() in print.c, the line:

That really ought to be „de_DE.UTF-8“.

It would be interesting to know whether that makes a difference.

I tried it on a debian sid box, using the version of emacs-cvs available
from the deb archive at http://emacs.orebokech.com and was unable to
duplicate.
