Package: a2ps
Version: 1:4.13b.dfsg.1-1
Severity: minor

The info documentation contains the following text

# 10.1.7 Why Does it Refuse to Change the Font Size
# -------------------------------------------------
# 
#      _a2ps does not seem to honor `--font-size'  (or
#      `--lines-per-page', or `--chars-per-line')._
# 
#    This is probably because you used `-1'..`-9' after the
# `--font-size'.  This is wrong, because the options `-1'..`-9' set the
# font size (so that there are 80 characters per lines), and many other
# things (*Note Page Options::, option `--font-size').
# 
#    Hence `a2ps --font-size=12km -4' is exactly the same thing as `a2ps
# -4', but is different from `a2ps -4 --font-size=12km'.  Note that the
# `pure' options (no side-effects) to specify the number of virtual pages
# are `--columns' and `--rows'.

It would be helpful to users if these lines were removed, and replaced
by an error message when the mistake described above is made.
