Having lost good few hours searching where this setting could be, I am +1 to resolve this.
Minor, but ... somewhat important note. If you grep /etc/ for 'a4|letter', you will find /etc/papersize. No way you can guess that LANG="en_US.UTF-8" has anything with that.... At the very least (or until it is patched), my suggestion: in the default config, put on the top of the /etc/papersize the note like: # Note that some applications use LANG/LC_PAPER settings instead of this configuration. # To complete the paper size configuration, set in your /etc/environment (or .bashrc) # LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" for letter # LC_PAPER="en_GB.UTF-8" for A4 -- Evince chooses default paper size the wrong way https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/224882 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
