Last autumn, you folks helped me with the correct syntax for a .tex file
(originally written in LyX) to add specific information to a pre-printed
stock certificate form. It worked like a charm. Since then I've upgraded my
distribution from Slackware-10.2 to -11.0
I now have need to print another certificate, but the process is not
working properly. After making the appropriate changes to the .tex file, I
run it through latex and dvips, but when I use gv to view the results, the
page is in portrait orientation rather than landscape. Here's the preamble:
\documentclass[oneside,english]{article}
\usepackage{palatino}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{verbose,landscape,letterpaper,tmargin=1.5cm,bmargin=1.5cm,lmargin=1.5c
m,rmargin=1.5cm}
\pagestyle{empty}
\makeatletter
\date{}
\setlength\headsep{4.4cm}
\setlength{\textheight}{18.5cm}
\setlength{\textwidth}{25.0cm}
\usepackage{babel}
\makeatother
I've posted requests for insight on both comp.text.tex and
alt.os.linux.slackware but there's no solution so far.
Based on a suggestion on the first newsgroup, I upgraded ghostscript here
from epsgs-8.15.3svn to -8.15.4. Now the compiled file doesn't display. GV
pops up an error box showing, "Unknown device x11" and "Error: PostScript
interpreter failed in main window."
Any thoughts, suggestions, ideas, and solutions would be greatly
appreciated. I'm looking everywhere for insight.
