I was about to suggest M-x center-line, but realized that's not what
you want to do. You don't want to reformat the text -- you're trying
to change its horizontal position in the buffer.
You could try enlarging the fringes, something like
(fringe-mode '(50 . 50))
Respectively, the two numbers specify the pixel width of the left and
right fringes.
To restore the default fringe setting:
(fringe-mode nil)
Alternatively, you can experiment with changing the window size. My
.emacs has
(setq initial-frame-alist '((width . 86)
(height . 48)))
To resize an existing frame, use
(modify-frame-parameters (selected-frame)
'((width . 86)
(height . 48)))
Finally, you can experiment with changing the default face (if you
haven't already done so).
M-x customize-face RET default RET
