--- Begin Message ---Package: emacs Version: 19.34-11 This is not a bug, but the default font used for emacs is ugly and _very_ big. Why not use -*-fixed-medium-r-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*, which is the same, if not very similar, to the one used by xterm or Eterm by default and is a reasonable value? Another feature which would make emacs much more useable by beginners, would be to make each buffer have its own frame, when emacs is started on an X display. This little hack does this (in a bit buggy way, still, tested on Emacs19.34 only): (setq special-display-regexps '( ("\\*.*\\*" (minibuffer . nil)) ("[.\\n]*" (minibuffer . nil) (width . 80) (height . 40)) )) (defun switch-to-buffer (BUFFER &optional NORECORD) (interactive) (switch-to-buffer-other-window BUFFER) ) Thank you for your attention. -Michele -- System Information Debian Release: 2.0 Kernel Version: Linux diamond 2.1.125 #1 SMP Sun Oct 25 01:51:20 CEST 1998 i686 unknown Versions of the packages emacs depends on: ii libc5 5.4.38-1.1 The Linux C library version 5 (run-time libr ii libc5 5.4.38-1.1 The Linux C library version 5 (run-time libr ii ncurses3.0 1.9.9e-2.1 Old libc5 curses - shared libraries ii xlib6 3.3.2.3-1 shared libraries required by libc5 X clients
