Aquamacs w/ EC-Emacs

Hi -

I'm having trouble with the current version of Aquamacs (0.9.5b) in  
conjunction with the EC-Emacs plugin (current version, i.e. beta-4).
When the plugin is installed, I get errors when trying to use either  
C-h k <input> or C-h a <keyword>

ad-Orig-documentation: Variable binding depth exceeds max-specpdl-size

I have no idea where this comes from.
Note that this occurs with the original Aquamacs as well as with  
another build where no precompiling (site-load.el) has been used.

Any ideas on this?

I'm going to look at this soon.

Use TeXniscope as PDF Auctex previewer WITHOUT EC-emacs?

     Does anybody have emacs-lisp code for .emacs or Preferences.el  
that causes auctex to use TeXniscope as the previewer for PDF (i.e.,  
pdflatex not latex to dvi) without using ec-emacs?

     For now I'll settle happily for just the preview function; I  
don't care that much about the ability to jump between source and  
preview files and maintain position.

     I've hit a glitch or two with ec-emacs, and this is really the  
only reason that I've used it.

Re: Use TeXniscope as PDF Auctex previewer WITHOUT EC-emacs?


I'm working on this feature for Aquamacs, but it's slow going. I'm
finding pdfsync, which is the engine that underlies everything, to be
tricky. If anyone has something that is already working, I'd love to see it.

The best way is to use the emacs customize facilities. Of course, this
being emacs, it's not trivial figuring out which customize-variable to
set. So, do the following:

M-x customize-variable <RET> TeX-output-view-style <RET>

There are probably many defaults already there. Find the one that shows
'Extension: ^pdf$' (if that's not there click on the field that shows
'[INS]' which creates should create an entry with empty Extension,
Regexp, and Command fields), make sure that below this you have a field
'Regexp: .' (after the colon there is a space and a period), after
'Command: ' enter the following (without the quotes) 'open -a
TeXniscope %o'.

Below the various entries you find text that looks like this '[State]'.
Click on that with either mouse button 2 or 3. Select from the pop-up
menu 'Save for future sessions'. That should do the trick (it does for
me). You can also set the view command to be run for other file
extensions (eg dvi, html) similarly.

Bug: Resolution of multiple windows on Tiger (OS X 10.4)

I have been a long-time user of EMACS on OS X, but have come upon a 
new problem running any of the current Carbon EMACS distributions on 
Tiger ( I'm running 10.4.2).  This bug arises when opening multiple 
EMACS windows using the c-x 52 command.  Specifically, when I open 
the first EMACS window (when starting up the application) I get a 
normal-looking window with proper resolution of all alpha-numeric 
characters in the frame.  However, when I open a second window (using 
c-x 52) that new frame is displayed at a MUCH coarser resolution than 
is normal.  It looks as though the frame contains many fewer pixels 
than the first, because now all alpha-numeric characters are 
displayed so coarsely that you can see individual pixels making up 
each individual character.  However, when opening a THIRD window, 
that window is now displayed at the same high resolution as the 
first!  And when opening a FOURTH window, I get the same coarse 
display of the SECOND!!  This "fine-coarse" pattern continues for 
every pair of windows opened using c-x 52.  I have installed several 
different Tiger-compatible Carbon EMACS distributions and all have 
the same bug.

I'd like to get this bug fixed, so I don't have to keep opening pairs 
of windows (deleting the ODD-ordered one) to insure that all my 
working windows have the same high resolution.

As anyone else seen this problem or can offer me a fix?

Thanks!

I can't reproduce this on Aquamacs. However, if you are seeing this in
several different variations of Carbon Emacs, then you should probably
file a bug report with the FSF.

Do you see this in Cocoa Emacs (Emacs-on-Aqua)?

I did a different approach: I first customized texdoc to use the right 
application for the right job, or file type. Then I made in 
TeX-output-view-style texdoc the viewer for everything. When I'll 
change my mind about the viewer I'll only have to change texdoc. And 
this script is easier to understand und to maintain than the 
complicated Emacs customization.

To prevent my copy of texdoc to become overwritten from a new TeX 
i-Package I keep it my private bin directory, ~/bin.

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something 
completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete 
fools.

I can't see it because I'm still with Panther, but maybe setting 
initial-frame-alist and default-frame-alist create a work-around:

         (setq initial-frame-alist '(
                 (border-color . "#4e3832")
                 (mouse-color      . "midnightblue")
                 (foreground-color . "midnightblue")
                 (background-color . "antiquewhite1")
;               (font . "fontset-12pt_courier_std")
                 (font . "fontset-yaced courier 12")
                 (top . 10) (left . 650) (width . 89) (height . 60)))
         (setq default-frame-alist '(
                 (background-color . "ghost white")
                 (foreground-color . "grey10")
                 (vertical-scroll-bars . left)
;               (font . "fontset-yaced monaco 12")
                 (font . "fontset-12pt_bitstream_courier")
                 (cursor-color . "purple")
                 (cursor-type . box)
                 (top . 20) (left . 150) (width . 89) (height . 56)))

trying to use Aquamacs

Hi,

I try to use Aquamacs 0.9.5

Mac OS X.3
French keyboard
powerbook 12''

1
I try  C-x C-f  ~/Documents/rencontres/IMS06/diffusion.txt

I get this error the first time :
Symbol's value as variable is void: font-lock-keywords

The second time it works.

The same with many files, but not all.

(This is not annoying, but strange.)

2
I hide tool bar, save options, restart : the tool-bar is still there.
Apparently, this option cannot be saved.

When I change from one buffer to another (in one-frame mode), the tool 
bar keeps coming back even though I turn off both menu items tool-bar 
and tool-bar in this frame.

This is annoying.
