OK this is really troff / ps related, but I think the right people sit around in this place - and I'm talking about plan9 troff ;-)
There was this thing on the list: http://9fans.net/archive/2008/07/639 but I'm still not sure. If I choose a certain paper size, lets say DIN A0, how do I generate a postscript that has this size? DIN A0 is defined in mm, so I say: .pl 118.9c .ll 84.1c large font: .ps 144 Hello, world! If I generate a postscript with just these 4 lines, will it print out correctly on an A0 printer? If I have more text then this 'Hello, world!' will the text cover the whole paper and just the paper? And how come that this postscript is displayed wrongly on different postscript viewers (like gv on lunix)? There are postscript files in A0 that are correctly displayed - gv is even telling me that these files are A0. Something must be missing? Some definition of paper size? Thanks and best regards, Yoshi PS By displayed wrongly I mean that the text is cut off at the right side and on the top ...
