How do I print from Emacs?

FAQ (komplett)
Please read Andrew's note on how to print from Emacs in 20.4. What you need to do depends upon how you connect your printer to your machine. Tim Sherrill <sherritp@sagian.com> has a very informative page on 2-up (n-up) printing from Emacs. Holger Mueller <hmueller@bigfoot.com> has taken over maintaining print-NT.el [V 1.15, 6/29/98] (previously maintained by Brian Gorka <gorkab@cyberpass.net>). Theodore Jump <tjump@tertius.com> has also written w32-print.

How do I print all these languages that Emacs is now displaying?

FAQ (komplett)
Emacs 20.4 has the ability to print non Western languages in two ways. Both use the "Postscript Print" functions, so if you do not have a Postscript printer, you will need to configure Emacs to print through Ghostscript. The variable 'ps-multibyte-buffer' controls how non-latin characters are printed. If you are using built in support in the printer or Ghostscript, then setting this variable appropriately is all that needs to be done.

Is there Emacs support for R?

R FAQ
There is an Emacs package called ESS (“Emacs Speaks Statistics”) which provides a standard interface between statistical programs and statistical processes. It is intended to provide assistance for interactive statistical programming and data analysis. Languages supported include: S dialects (R, S 3/4, and S-Plus 3.x/4.x/5.x/6.x/7.x), LispStat dialects (XLispStat, ViSta), SAS, Stata, and BUGS. ESS grew out of the need for bug fixes and extensions to S-mode 4.

Should I run R from within Emacs?

R FAQ
Yes, definitely. Inferior R mode provides a readline/history mechanism, object name completion, and syntax-based highlighting of the interaction buffer using Font Lock mode, as well as a very convenient interface to the R help system. Of course, it also integrates nicely with the mechanisms for editing R source using Emacs. One can write code in one Emacs buffer and send whole or parts of it for execution to R; this is helpful for both data analysis and programming.

Why does zsh not work in an Emacs shell mode any more?

Z-Shell Frequently-Asked Questions
Emacs 19.29 or thereabouts stopped using a terminal type of "emacs" in shell buffers, and instead sets it to "dumb". Zsh only kicks in its special I'm-inside-emacs initialization when the terminal type is "emacs". Probably the most reliable way of dealing with this is to look for the environment variable $EMACS, which is set to t in Emacs' shell mode. Putting [[ $EMACS = t ]] && unsetopt zle in your .zshrc should be sufficient.

What is an experienced Emacs user?

Frequently Asked Questions: Appendices
Yes, when you use Emacs, you are apt to use the control key, the shift key and the meta key a lot. This is very annoying to some people (notably vile users), and the rest of us just love the hell out of it. Just give up and submit. Emacs really does stand for "Escape-Meta-Alt-Control-Shift", and not "Editing Macros", as you may have heard from other disreputable sources (like the Emacs author).

What is a .emacs file?

FAQ (komplett)

Where do I put my .emacs, (or _emacs), file?

GNU Emacs FAQ for Windows
Your startup file can be named either _emacs or .emacs, and should be placed in your "home" directory. If you have both files in your home directory, Emacs will load the .emacs file and ignore _emacs. Your home directory is where the HOME configuration variable tells Emacs it is.

How do I run Gnus on both Emacs and XEmacs?

Frequently Asked Questions: Appendices
You can't use the same copy of Gnus in both as the Lisp files are byte-compiled to a format which is different depending on which Emacs did the compilation. Get one copy of Gnus for Emacs and one for XEmacs.

How to find information and help inside Emacs?

Frequently Asked Questions: Appendices
The first stop should be the Gnus manual (Say 'C-h i d m Gnus RET' to start the Gnus manual, then walk through the menus or do a full-text search with 's'). Then there are the general Emacs help commands starting with C-h, type 'C-h ? ?' to get a list of all available help commands and their meaning. Finally 'M-x apropos-command' lets you search through all available functions and 'M-x apropos' searches the bound variables.

If you don't mind the registry settings remaining in the registry, then you don't need to do anything to uninstall Emacs. If you want to remove the registry settings, then you can use the regedt32 program to remove the Emacs registry keys.

What is a voice print?

MEK Software Technologies - Learning Center - Frequently Ask...
A voice print is a digital representation of the unique features of an individual's voice. Voices differ due to a number of physiological characteristics such as the vocal chords, trachea, nasal passages, how the tongue moves inside one's mouth to produce certain sounds, etc. The combination of these characteristics is analyzed and identified as unique for everyone. A voice print is not a sound file (recording) of the individual and therefore cannot be replayed as a recording by an impostor.
