Description Pierre-YvesChibon 2013-09-09 07:46:23 UTC

Using --width and --height I only managed to produce weird looking business cards

For example:
$fedora-business-cards --pdf fedora -u pingou --mm --height=85 --width=55
-> Width seems fine (although the Fedora and the 4F are over each other), height completely broken, looks like an A4 at the end

I tried to convert the size from mm to inch:
$ fedora-business-cards --pdf fedora -u pingou --height=3.46457 --width=2.28346
-> Pretty much the same result

Using only the height or the width:
$ fedora-business-cards --pdf fedora -u pingou --height=3.46457
-> Looks almost square

$ fedora-business-cards --pdf fedora -u pingou --width=58 --mm
-> Only end up with a thin horizontal band
$ fedora-business-cards --pdf fedora -u pingou  --height=88 --mm
-> Only end up with a thin vertical band

You have width and height swapped.

This is actually a bug, and is caused by the default values for --width and --height being 3.5 and 2 respectively, which are interpreted as 3.5 mm and 2 mm respectively when the --mm switch is passed in.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2016-07-19 10:21:40 UTC

Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
