From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041020 Galeon/1.3.18 Description of problem: a2ps uses too big font. For example if --chars-per-line is equal to the longest line. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): a2ps-4.13b-41 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Execute echo "Hello world." | a2ps --chars-per-line=12 -o hello_world.ps 2. Look at the resulting postscript gv hello_world.ps Actual Results: The font is too big and the characters "d." (from Hello world) are out of boundaries. Expected Results: The string "Hello world." that I used for testing has 12 characters. I expect that a2ps --chars-per-line=12 creates a postscript with "Hello world." aligned to the left and right margin of the page.
Strong similarities to bug #137336. I see this symptom here too.
