However the default font choice isn't saved. So it knows how to write to ~/.emacs ; however, the "default font" choice isn't seen as something that emacs needs to save. The font choice dialog is mac-specific, as the movie link I sent you shows. If you haven't tested it on a Mac, then it wouldn't surprise me that you can't see the bug. As I said earlier, I would be interested in an emacs with a simple Mac integration; however, this one doesn't seem to pass this first test I tried. I wish you all luck with it, and submitted the bug to be helpful, but am not particularly interested in spending the time to pursue this. Good luck, Jim Mahoney Marlboro College Stefan Monnier wrote: >> I have tried it with several .emacs file variations. >> "Save Defaults" on my system doesn't seem to modify .emacs. >> I see a "loading battery" message in the status line, >> whatever that means. > > It means there is some customization somewhere (`battery' is not loaded > by default, AFAIK).
