Dear all,
I just run into a "funny" problem witch a2ps. In germany we have usually A4 paper. So using a2ps <filenam> is o.k. Now I had to set LANG=en_US.UTF-8 now a2ps prints to letter format. During install of a2ps there shold changed line 17: Options: --medium=LC_PAPER to Options: --medium=A4
Reason: Papersize has to depend on installation and not on users language. The paper format is usually set by tha admin.
And if you have a smart admin he will just set LC_PAPER and not hardcode a value to hundreds of programs. I confess that not everyone has a smart admin but if you suffer from this you could still explain this to him or her.
