This is just that evince uses by default (and may be exclusively) the Letter page format. If you select the Letter format when you create the PostScript, you'll see it opens cleanly in Evince. If you find a PostScript reader that deals properly with page formats, you'll also see your A4 PostScript is fine (that is why it's fine on your English printer and with ghostscript). I didn't experience with okular. Could you find a way to instruct okular to use A4 ? On Mac OS X 10.5, Preview opens cleanly the .ps produced by the Fl_Printer class. May be your 10.4 differs on this detail. I tried hard to have Evince use A4, but failed, as strange as it may seem for such a basic feature of a widely used Linux program. _______________________________________________ fltk-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk-dev
