Thanks. On 5.0 this is named "shrink to fit" and I turned it off. Will see
what difference it makes in the printing-viewing discrepancy.

That's wildly annoying of Adobe. Do you know if the commercial version is
more flexible? I like to use the Acrobbat for viewing and printing to be
able to forget about how to install a DVI viewer and printer driver for my
lexmark printer. I vaguely recall how cumbersome that was in the pre-4TEX
days and since 4TEX got somewhat obsolete and not replaced by something
equally nice as a shell, I never felt like going back into the trenches to
figure out these command line printer droiver settings, files, PK fonts...
yuck!

I don't think I have pdflatex, I merely installed FPtex and ConTeXt and I
use ConTeXt for my new documents. I use the old 4TEX version 4 setup on my
desk top PC for tex-files that I haven't converted to ConTeXt yet.

It looks perfect, just on screen the page bottom is considerably nearer to
the page number in the footer than on actual paper so far...

Windows98, ConTeXt in a FPtex directory structure, is that what you meant to
ask?
Groet!
