The same, of course, holds true for Emacs windows. In practice, this has turned out not to be a problem with Emacs windows, since preview size (GhostScript resolution) is calculated to make the document, when produced at its nominal point size (usually 10pt, 11pt or 12pt), match the screen font size. Since the text window is usually 80 characters wide, and 80 typical character widths of TeX is more than usual on a line, in practice previews tend to take up less space than full source text lines. They usually are not as small as to waste lots of screen resolution, either. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
