I found out that it works also for me _if_ I use the following font:

 -sony-fixed-medium-r-normal--16-120-100-100-c-80-iso8859-1,

so the problem must have something to do with the Emacs font:
`scroll-preserve-screen-position' does not work with the default Emacs font,
but why?  I could use the above family font as well, if only I knew how to
enlarge it, on the screen of my new small Acer netbook!

Thanks for any furhter help
Rodolfo
