Where do you have your Emacs from? Your description sounds like you are running a CVS Emacs with AUCTeX enabled. The distributor should be able to tell you if this is the case. > For example, if you input "x^y", the y will be put in a smaller font > and put on the top of x, which is nice.

Assuming you are using AUCTeX, could you please prepare a bug report by typing `M-x TeX-submit-bug-report RET' and send it to the given address? Please include an example file which triggers the slow down. > Another annoying thing. I don't know why? some time if I finish a $ > \begin{align}$ environment, I can not input "$" sign.

For example, you can put something like (setq font-lock-maximum-decoration '((latex-mode . 1) (t . t))) into your init file. -- Ralf _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
