>From what I have read the pdf file/document contains information if it is an A4 or a letter size format, postscript doesn't have this information. Something, I emerge during the last week have caused this change. As tetex is old package, it can not be tetex; in addition and I did not have to do any special configuration in tetex, everything just worked.
