This is to answer my own posting. I found out some things, and some other remain obscure...

Blank pages are generated by this comment in my preamble: \let\cdp=\cleardoublepage \renewcommand{\cleardoublepage}{\newpage{\pagestyle{empty}\cdp}} (Because I don't like to have page numbers and headers on a blank page at the end of a chapter) > > - when converting to pdf, I've got the message > dvips: Warning: missing glyph `guillemotleft' > dvips: Warning: missing glyph `guillemotright' > ...

Perhaps this should appear in section 5.3.6.2 of the french "Extended features" help file? > - all pages are shifted a few centimeters towards the bottom of the page. > Things near the bottom jump out of the page. > Funny... this occurs only when I use the hyperref package. I've got the hyperref 6.71 version, which is loaded last in my preamble (when exported to latex, babel is loaded after that, but I've got no control on this). If this is relevant, I've got gs version 6.51 Thank you for any help, Matthieu
