The semantics change when you switch to soft-wrapping, because usually one doesn't want to hard-wrap when soft-wrapping is on. If I misunderstood you, try writing to the Emacs-on-OSX mailing list, where we support Aquamacs (and Emacs) users.

Message-ID: <614E5B9D-41D4-4942-9D4E-91558CAB5FB5@nf.mpg.de> Hallo, I found a minor quirk with Aquamacs 1.7 when trying to set a larger default font size. (1) Pressing A++ will increase the current font size (zoom: 120%), which I find extremely useful. My intention was to always have that font size as default for all buffer in all modes, so I tried "Options:Appearance:Adopt Face...". I had previously hidden the toolbar (using the button at the top-right corner of the Aquamacs window), and used the green maximize button. When using the "Adopt Face..." option, Aquamacs resized the window so that the bottom was no longer visible. My guess is that the size of the (hidden) toolbar was added. Saving Options and then restarting Aquamacs yields a smaller frame than desired and the same font size. (2) This worked for me: I used Cmd-Shift-T ("Options:Appearance:Font for..."), adjusted the font size and did "Options:Save Options". I realize that this is different from "Adopt Face..." which has a more general scope. Warm regards, Stefan -- Dr. Stefan Vollmar, Dipl.-Phys.

Thanks for providing the detailed information; however, your problem appears to be different from the usual, PATH-related issue. To start latex-mode, you do not need to have the latex binaries available. I would recommend to try first by starting Aquamacs without customizations (Help->Diagnose menu), and, if that doesn't work, re- install Aquamacs from a freshly downloaded copy (you can download a more recent, bug-fixed build of Aquamacs at http://aquamacs.org/nightlies.shtml (choose the 22 series build for PPC).

Perhaps you have some old code / plugins / packages around that cause the problem. I suspect that your "load-path" variable is misconfigured, or that a latex file from the wrong place is loaded.

OK, I have checked in a change that will move the window inside the screen (and resize it if need be). Keeping the sizes of all frames constant would have been a bit more code.

Thanks, I will try from a shell when I am back home. After launching it from the dock I started it from the shell. It did come up but reported an error: ~% /Applications/Aquamacs\ Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Aquamacs\ Emacs 2009-05-23 06:46:49.454 Aquamacs Emacs[61133:10b] *** CFMessagePort: bootstrap_register(): failed 1100 (0x44c) 'Permission denied', port = 0x2007, name = 'org.gnu.AquamacsEmacs.ServiceProvider' See /usr/include/servers/bootstrap_defs.h for the error codes. If it wasn't already running, starting it from the shell produced no error message. According to the referenced include file, error 1100 is "BOOTSTRAP_NOT_PRIVILEGED", which I guess jives pretty well with "Permission denied."

And it's really nothing important. Applications register themselves at the system when they launch that the whole system knows that some new service(s) is (or are) available now. Now that this service is (or these services are) established no other application is allowed to "steal" it (or them). The same would happen when you launch any other application more than once. -- Greetings Pete Either this man is dead or my watch has stopped. - Groucho Marx
