OK, thanks a lot! Now I know more. However I still think it's odd that postscripts don't include the paper size for which they are designed - I think it makes a difference whether a document is written for legal, letter, DIN A4 or DIN B4 etc. ... Regards, Yoshi

[9fans] troff paper size

OK this is really troff / ps related, but I think the right people sit around in this place - and I'm talking about plan9 troff ;-) There was this thing on the list: http://9fans.net/archive/2008/07/639 but I'm still not sure. If I choose a certain paper size, lets say DIN A0, how do I generate a
