Bug 137336

Description of problem:

  When I print using a2ps, the printed output looks as though it is
not using the font that a2ps internally thinks it is using. The
symptoms are lines running off the right side (no wrap, or wrap too
late) and the font height a bit bigger than a nicely sized font for
the same line vertical spacing. (i.e., looks like a default font is
slipping into the process somewhere).

  I am using cups and a networked postscript printer (HP 2100M).

  Somehow, with release of FC3 imminent, this should work 'out of the
box'.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

  I am working with current fc3/devel yum updated files. Clean load a
few weeks ago with fc3-3 (no change to a2ps config files or font files)

[user1@hoho2 ~]$ a2ps --version
GNU a2ps 4.13

How reproducible:

  I think this same problem has existed for awhile (maybe months)

Steps to Reproduce:

1. see commands below

Actual results:

The command below creates a single page with line numbers. Should be
10 pt font, but looking at the output, it looks bigger. The (1 line
wrapped) is shown, but the first part of the line runs off the right
edge and  'eadow after a shor' is totally missing on the printed page.

[user1@hoho2 ~]$ a2ps -1 -f 10 --line-numbers=1 -d code.txt
[code.txt (plain): 1 page on 1 sheet]
request id is HP_Laser_ppd-75 (1 file(s))
[Total: 1 page on 1 sheet] sent to the default printer
[1 line wrapped]

[user1@hoho2 ~]$ cat code.txt
#include <stuff>

/* This should be a long line */
printf("%s","A quick brown fox jumped over the big green box in the
meadow after a short nap");

[user1@hoho2 ~]$

Expected results:

  I should be able to see all of the words on the printed page.

Additional info:

  I can attach the generated postscript file if you wish.
