Package: emacs21
Version: 21.4a-3
Severity: normal

In refcard.tex, if you set columnsperpage to 2 or 3, some of the text
gets pushed into the seventh column, and the card no longer fits on
two sides of one page.  I found this could be fixed by increasing
vsize slightly.  (A TeX guru might be able to find a better fix.)

Apparently fr-refcard.tex needs something similar.

Even with that change, some of the text got printed off the page.  By
trial and error I found an origin shift that would print everything on
letter size paper.  I suggest an example be added to the comment.

Here's a suggested patch:
