In GNU Emacs 23.2.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.10.4)
of 2010-09-28 on poisson.math.northwestern.edu
Windowing system distributor `The X.Org Foundation', version 11.0.70101000
configured using `configure '--with-xpm=no' '--with-jpeg=no' '--with-gif=no' '--with-tiff=no' '--prefix=/rhome/2/richter/gnu''
I just made emacs in dir emacs-23.2 on Scientific Linux, and typed
src/emacs -Q -fn -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--24-240-75-75-p-130-iso8859-1 &
There is a large blank left margin no matter what buffer I am editing.
Right now it comes out as far as the 2nd u in
U:** - *mail to bUg-gnu-emacs@gnu.org*:
in the minibuffer.
My experiments indicate that this bug occurs with any variable-width
font, and it never happens with a fixed-width font.

This happens for me too on Scientific Linux 5.5, with both the current
emacs-23 branch and trunk. An image of
emacs-23.2 -Q -fn '-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1'
is attached. The frame is also very wide.

I've just installed a fix in emacs-23 branch. Please try
again.

Hi, can you tell me how to install the fixed new version? Or when the
next official release will be?

Thanks, Glenn. I did a lot of Emacs bug testing years ago, on Suns,
and I'm not that good at Linux and I'm out of it. I'll build the
fixed new version if you give me more information. I went to the your
web site & learned only that it involved bazaar.
When & where are the new versions announced?

1) Install the bzr utility from http://bazaar.canonical.com .
Eg on Scientific Linux you can use
yum --enablerepo=dag install bzr
or you can build from source using
python setup.py install --prefix=/wherever/you/like
2) Run the command
bzr branch http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/emacs/emacs-23
to fetch the sources.
3) configure, make, etc

Thanks, Glenn. I failed to install bzr using python & the source
bzr-2.3b1.tar.gz. The only thing that will work is a bzr rpm that I
can install by
rpm -ihv
as I'm working on a machine without net access, so I can't e.g. do
yum --enablerepo=dag install bzr

Thanks, I signed up.

Err, if you don't have net access, you won't be able to retrieve the
sources with bzr even if you do install it. You should probably just
wait for 23.3.

I realized that after I wrote, Glenn. Why don't you have a tar.gz
file? BTW is RMS still active in the Emacs biz?

A combination of lack of demand for development snapshots, and lack of
a volunteer to make them.
The relevant patch looks simple, if you want to try applying it to
stock Emacs 23.2. (I have not tested that.)

Peripherally the last few years, but it could always change again in
future.

Well, raw unstable dev snapshot tarballs are often just automagically
handled by web frontend interfaces to VCS, human intervention not
required, server just tars up an export of a revision from the repo.
Okay, apparently /not/ in the case of bzr on savannah - and n.b. the
functionality is still lacking from launchpad/loggerhead upstream [1]
(oddly), so reenabling the apparently disabled loggerhead on savannah
wouldn't help.
However, circuitously, the web frontend to an unofficial import of emacs
into git does happen to make them [2][3]
*** Of course, _don't_ use such a snapshot unless you're prepared for
development code that might eat your socks or worse.
