Package: emacs21
Version: 21.4a-3
Severity: normal
In refcard.tex, if you set columnsperpage to 2 or 3, some of the text
gets pushed into the seventh column, and the card no longer fits on
two sides of one page. I found this could be fixed by increasing
vsize slightly. (A TeX guru might be able to find a better fix.)
Apparently fr-refcard.tex needs something similar.
Even with that change, some of the text got printed off the page. By
trial and error I found an origin shift that would print everything on
letter size paper. I suggest an example be added to the comment.
Here's a suggested patch:
