Setting Emacs geometry (MacOS / NS)

Setting Emacs geometry (MacOS / NS)

[Alberto Simões]

Hello.

ANybody knows how to set a default emacs geometry under MacOS?
Everytime I open it I have to rescale for half of its original width :)

Cheers
Alberto

Initial- and default-frame-alist. Although not 100 %, I think. There  
seems to be some influence from X resources ...

You can use the following function. Thats how i set my default size on OS X.

(defun na-resize-frame-big ()
  "Set size"
  (interactive)
  (set-frame-width (selected-frame) 178)
  (set-frame-height (selected-frame) 50 )
  (set-frame-position (selected-frame) 0 1))

Set you width and height accordingly. And call it from your .emacs

(na-resize-frame-big)

I asked myself this question when I got my first macbook 7 days ago.
Unfortunately there seems to be no way to set geometry outside Emacs,
unlike either Windows or gnU/LiNUX.

At the moment I'm using:

(modify-all-frames-parameters
 '((width . 120)
   (height . 42)))

Tweak the values to suit your needs. The frame will start with default
size and then expand to the size specified above.

BTW, mac has the best support for unicode; even the Terminal.app can
display any unicode characters. If anybody has any idea on how to set up
Emacs to match Terminal.app's unicode support, please let me know.

Do you mean how to setup fontset fonts for different charsets? 

I use the following to setup CJK fonts: 

   (setq xwl-default-font "Monaco-14"
         xwl-chinese-font "Hei"
         xwl-japanese-font "Hiragino_Kaku_Gothic_ProN"))

    (let ((charset-font `((japanese-jisx0208   . ,xwl-japanese-font)
                          (chinese-gb2312      . ,xwl-chinese-font)
                          (chinese-gbk         . ,xwl-chinese-font)
                          (gb18030             . ,xwl-chinese-font)
                          ;; (big5             . "Hei")
                          (japanese-jisx0208   . ,xwl-japanese-font)
                          ;; (japanese-jisx0212 . ,xwl-japanese-font)
                          )))
      (set-default-font xwl-default-font)
      (mapc (lambda (charset-font)
              (set-fontset-font (frame-parameter nil 'font)
                                (car charset-font)
                                (font-spec :family (cdr charset-font) :size 14)))
            charset-font))

I couldn't make .Xresources work for this so I have the following in
my .emacs

;; Sizing emacs via .Xresources did not work perfectly for me.  
;; Therefore the below is included
(setq default-frame-alist '((top . 0) (left . 1440) (width . 80) (height . 66)))
(setq initial-frame-alist '((top . 0) (left . 1440) (width . 80) (height . 66)))
