Spent all evening googling and stracing libreoffice, etc.
Finally found how to make the miserable thing default
to Letter rather than A4 paper size on startup, so I
thought I'd let other Fedora users know :-).
step 1:
yum install libpaper
step 2:
echo Letter> /etc/papersize
That's it. Finally the system wide default paper size
for libreoffice is Letter rather than A4!
(The main problem is that google turns up 47,523,621
pages of people searching for the answer without
finding it, so there is a lot of chaff to sort through :-).
You really have to wonder why on earth libreoffice
doesn't use the default paper size setting from the printer
itself like every other program on the planet :-(.
I just checked, in both F-15/64 and F16/64 I see Us Letter for
the paper size.
However, since both installs were from the Live/XFCE USB, as
have been all my recent installs, I had to install LibreOffice
via YUM in each case which may account for the difference? Both
computers are updated recently.
I have saved your suggestion however.
