  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

what does this file say? Maybe by chance something about A4???

I tried it on my computer and the documents come out in letter
without any problem.

Is it so hard to read the output?

Bug can be closed, misconfiguration of the user.

Best wishes

FORD    Tell me Arthur...
ARTHUR  Yes?
FORD    This boulder we're stuck under, how big would you say it was? Roughly?
ARTHUR  Oh, about the size of Coventry Cathedral.
FORD    Do you think we could move it? (Arthur doesn't reply) Just asking.
