It is used to display markers when a line is too long and wraps around. I keep my lines under 80 chars so this is not really useful for me and I could really use those extra few pixels. I could fit an emacs window and a terminal window (or two emacs windows) next to each other without overlap with the font selection of my choice. Is there a way to turn off these line overflow markers and reclaim the space? (I already turn off the scroll bars, graphical buttons.) Thanks! Matyas - Every hardware eventually breaks.
