IMO Apple's software that converts PS to PDF is faulty, in Panther and probably Tiger too. When I do PostScript Print Buffer (or Region) or the same in (B+W) the actual functions used are ps-print-buffer-with-faces/ps-print-region-with-faces or ps-print-buffer/ps-print-region. They produce valid PostScript code. Right now the only support ISO Latin-1, so you see a message telling you that some characters can't be printed. If your printer is a PostScript one it has no problems to print the buffer or the region correctly, according to the limitation the glyphs have to be ISO Latin-1. If your printer is not PS, then there is the chance that the printed output can be strange looking. You get better results with Ghostscript. The Ghostscript script ps2pdf converts the PS code correctly to PDF that Preview or any other PDF viewer can display. Besides this you *should* do some customization by invoking M-x customize-group printing RET, and particularly ps-print and its subgroups. Then you'll see that you can't print in the fontset's face but are restricted to the usual 35 PostScript 1 fonts that are always built into the printer. If you have Ghostscript installed you can change the ps-print-* settings of the menu to the corresponding ps-spool-* functions. Now you 'print' into a buffer, *PostScript*. Marking this 'print' spool buffer's contents you can pass it to a UNIX command, ps2pdf, or ps2pdf12 or ps2pdf13 or ps2pdf14 for the PDF version you wish to get, with the options "- -". You get then a *Shell Command Output* with the PDF code. Now you can save this buffer to a file and print this file with Mac OS X. Could be there is a better way ... Could be with GNU Emacs 23 comes a way to choose another file encoding than ISO Latin-1. -- Greetings Pete When confronted with actual numbers, a mathematician is at a loss. (Steffen Hokland)

Re: gnuclient and Carbon Emacs?

It looks as if the gnu* Elisp code only knows two environments: one with windows, X11, and another one without any windows, tty. Carbon Emacsen fill the symbol window-system with ``mac´´, so they can't work with gnuclient. Uh, ok, thanks. My error messages where more cryptic that most of yours, I got the "Error during redisplay" one that didn't tell me anything.. emacsclient works. But beware of Apple's /usr/bin/emacsclient! You'll have to use your own /Applications/AquaMacs.app/Contents/ MacOS/bin/emacsclient. Hey that's a good tip, it works indeed! Thanks! I don't suppose I can use an emacsclient on a different machine to make the Emacs on my Powerbook find a file, can I? (emacsclient would have to transmit the file contents back and forth, of course.) Because that's what I would actually want to do, instead of having to run emacs remotely via X11. -- D

Re: Font choice, X-Faces with Aquamacs ?

Clipped glyphs everywhere, if you try a simple C-x C-f you'll see that the minibuffer can't cope with the width of the glyphs. Looks a bit like a bug to me. David, you know that AquaMacs is changing the font all the time! Have you checked that you really have in use any of those Bi tstream Vera Sans Mono fontsets? Do have these fonts at all? They don't come with Mac OS X ... Without additional argument, create-fontset-from-fontset-spec will throw an error if the font is not present. It will not add the font to the list. Also, Aquamacs only changes the font when the major mode is changed or the buffer is switched. When you bring up the font menu (Options / Set Font...), you will only see fonts that are actually installed. The above font is installed, as in turns up in Font Book and also here: Click <mouse-2> on a completion to select it. Possible completions are: -apple-bitstream vera sans mono bold oblique-bold-i-normal--0-0-75-75- m-0-mac-roman -apple-bitstream vera sans mono bold oblique-bold-r-normal--0-0-75-75- m-0-mac-roman -apple-bitstream vera sans mono bold oblique-medium-i- normal--0-0-75-75-m-0-mac-roman -apple-bitstream vera sans mono bold oblique-medium-r- normal--0-0-75-75-m-0-mac-roman -apple-bitstream vera sans mono bold-bold-i-normal--0-0-75-75-m-0-mac- roman -apple-bitstream vera sans mono bold-bold-r-normal--0-0-75-75-m-0-mac- roman -apple-bitstream vera sans mono bold-medium-i-normal--0-0-75-75-m-0- mac-roman -apple-bitstream vera sans mono bold-medium-r-normal--0-0-75-75-m-0- mac-roman -apple-bitstream vera sans mono oblique-bold-i-normal--0-0-75-75-m-0- mac-roman -apple-bitstream vera sans mono oblique-bold-r-normal--0-0-75-75-m-0- mac-roman -apple-bitstream vera sans mono oblique-medium-i-normal--0-0-75-75- m-0-mac-roman -apple-bitstream vera sans mono oblique-medium-r-normal--0-0-75-75- m-0-mac-roman So the 11pt version you sent gets clipped badly, and I'm also not very sure if it is actually displayed in 11pt - I think it's something smaller. Again, it's a problem with the width calculation. I type in a line in the buffer, and when I press return, the line is redisplayed and it gets spaced differently - it's actually wider. The definition below - defining with -120- instead of -110- actually works much better for me and doesn't show any bad behavior. Why that is the case, I have no idea. Maybe you have 11pt versions of the font installed, and in my case it's rescaling the font. (My conjecture!) In Aquamacs, this is nicely rendered - no trouble with it. Eric, check it out - I suspect things will be smooth with this version.
