The problem: People expect that when they do nothing, the printer will work and the printout looks approximately as it does on screen. By chance, this already is the case for europeans, because a4paper is the default. For lettersize people, printers refuse to print when a4 is requested, or else the layout is skewed. The proposed solution: A hook in /etc/libpaper.d/ that is executed a) by "our" postinst b) by paperconfig and essentially runs "texconfig paper $paper", after some sanity checks. > But, for Frans, if you want portable documents, use geometry, otherwise > dvips/dvipdfm(x) etc pick up anything from letter to c5, depending on > the configuration of these programs.
