Carlos, dont forget the groff page size setting in /etc/sysconfig/suseconfig. Changing the GROFF_PAGESIZE="letter" for U.S. set system wide default. That about drove me nuts having to change page size in different apps. Never have found anything in the docs about groff. Now after an install of suse I always change that which defaults to A4, to letter and no problems.
Ah. Yes. Groff is used for man pages, don't know what else. And the comments are interesting: # By default, SuSEconfig tries to get the correct page size # from your system wide locale (i.e. from the system wide value of # LC_PAPER, which is possibly inherited from the system wide value of LANG). # If you want to set a page size for groff different from that, # you can set GROFF_PAGESIZE to the following values # letter, a4 # GROFF_PAGESIZE="a4" ## Path: System/SuSEconfig ## Description: ## Type: yesno ## Default: yes # LC_PAPER! cer@nimrodel:~> set | grep PAPER cer@nimrodel:~> cer@nimrodel:~> set | grep LANG GDM_LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LANG=en_US.UTF-8 The OP could try defining "LC_PAPER" himself to "A4". This other setting is curious: # Update /etc/papersize to get page sizes for groff correct? (yes/no) # UPDATE_GROFF_CONF="yes" ## Type: string(letter,legal,a4,b5) ## Default: "" ## Config: groff cer@nimrodel:~> cat /etc/papersize a4 - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
