It is present on a DVI level already. What I see on DVI is what I get on
the printer. Well, almost, I have an A4 sized paper in my printer. I
believe that final printing of an exported postscript file on a A4 paper
does not influence the layout generated in the first place (DVI
preview).
Anyway, right now I tested back and forth three options:
1. use paper B5/no geometry
result: huge margins (122mm wide text on a 176mm wide page plus 218mm
from top of the page to the page number = more than 3cm free of text at
the bottom of the page. Unacceptable.
2. use paper custom (170x245mm)/no geometry
result: text out of range of the page. 236mm from top of the header to
the bottom of page number.
text body itself is 147mm wide.
3. use paper B5/geometry
result: I can manipulate margins/headers and stuff at will, but first,
what's the point of using a sophisticated typesetting program and
document styles if you end up moving your text madly back and forth on
the page like in the MS Word? Well, I would try even more of this, but
there is an extra "bonus":
using geometry destroys somehow layout of headers and page numbers, and
does it badly. All numbers are on one (right) side, no matter if I set
TwoSides in DocumentLayout. Nice headers containing chapter numbers and
names on even pages are gone, I am getting only headers with current
section numbers and names, positioned on the right on all pages. Not
good to put it mildly.
Well, if someone can make sense out of it, and suggest a solution, I
would be more than happy.
Thanks in advance.
