I'm not sure what kind of example is necessary. How about if you ask specific questions about the arguments of that function which you don't understand clearly how to use? > AFAIU, `window-text-pixel-size' returns the size of the window No, it returns the size of _text_ when displayed in a window. > Note that `text-width' in the code above is not related to the width > of the window, but is a maximum number of allowed characters on a > line. I didn't mean text-width, I meant the use of string-width: it should be replaced by a call to window-text-pixel-size.
