From: Chao LU <loochao <at> gmail.com> To: bug-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org Subject: 23.3; print-buffer may need improvement under MAC OSX Date: Mon, 21 Mar 2011 20:56:39 -0400

I'm using the Emacs for OSX, GNU Emacs 23.3.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin, NS apple-appkit-1038.35) of 2011-03-09 on black.porkrind.org, which I obtained from this URL: http://emacsformacosx.com/ The printing is not working perfectly. The function (print-buffer) will lead to a printed paper like this ------------------- | abcdefgabcd| ------------------- instead of ------------------- | abcdefabc | ------------------- And I really failed to find out where I could setup the margin. And I did try to print with postscript, but in that case, the font is really small, and adjusting the fonts is another headache. In GNU Emacs 23.3.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin, NS apple-appkit-1038.35) of 2011-03-09 on black.porkrind.org Windowing system distributor `Apple', version 10.3.1038 configured using `configure '--host=x86_64-apple-darwin' '--build=i686-apple-darwin' '--with-ns' 'build_alias=i686-apple-darwin' 'host_alias=x86_64-apple-darwin' 'CC=gcc -mmacosx-version-min=10.5'' Important settings: value of $LC_ALL: en_US.UTF-8 value of $LC_COLLATE: nil value of $LC_CTYPE: nil value of $LC_MESSAGES: nil value of $LC_MONETARY: nil value of $LC_NUMERIC: nil value of $LC_TIME: nil value of $LANG: en_US.UTF-8 value of $XMODIFIERS: nil locale-coding-system: nil default enable-multibyte-characters: t Major mode: Dired by name Minor modes in effect: hl-line-mode: t yas/global-mode: t shell-dirtrack-mode: t global-auto-complete-mode: t dired-omit-mode: t show-paren-mode: t display-time-mode: t delete-selection-mode: t auto-image-file-mode: t tooltip-mode: t mouse-wheel-mode: t menu-bar-mode: t file-name-shadow-mode: t global-font-lock-mode: t font-lock-mode: t auto-encryption-mode: t auto-compression-mode: t size-indication-mode: t column-number-mode: t line-number-mode: t transient-mark-mode: t Recent input: <return> <tab> <return> <backspace> h <return> c h a o l <tab> <backspace> <backspace> <backspace> <backspace> <backspace> <tab> <tab> / <backspace> c h a o <tab> <tab> <tab> <backspace> <backspace> <backspace> <backspace> <backspace> h o <tab> <tab> <tab> <backspace> <backspace> <backspace> C-d C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-p C-p C-p C-p C-p C-p C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-p C-p C-p C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-p C-p C-p <return> C-n C-n C-p C-p C-x C-f u / c h a o l / p u b <return> C-d C-x C-f C-g C-x b C-s <return> R s <backspace> / s <backspace> <backspace> C-g C-x b C-g C-x b C-g R / s c p c : c h a o <backspace> <backspace> <backspace> <backspace> <backspace> C-g <return> C-2 M-> M-w C-x b C-s C-s <return> C-x k <return> C-x b C-s <return> C-x C-f n e c <backspace> <backspace> <backspace> N e <backspace> E C B L . h t m l <return> <return> C-y C-x C-s C-x C-s C-x k <return> <f9> 1 C-s p r o C-g C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n c <wheel-down> <double-wheel-down> <triple-wheel-down> <wheel-down> <double-wheel-down> <wheel-up> <help-echo> C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n d x y C-p C-p C-p C-p C-p C-p C-p C-p C-p C-p C-p C-p C-n <return> C-n C-p ^ C-n <return> ^ <help-echo> g <wheel-up> <down-mouse-1> <mouse-1> <help-echo> <help-echo> M-x r e p o r t - e m <tab> b u <tab> <return> Recent messages: Omitting...
