From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.8) Gecko/20020204 Description of problem: With upgrade to man-1.5j-11, man -t formats incorrectly. If you pipe to lpr, the margins are wrong, shifted up and to the rights. Also running enscript-1.6.1-22 from 8.0 upgrade. Same printer, same driver. Everything else prings fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): man-1.5j-11 enscript-1.6.1-22 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.From console, type man -t foo | lpr 2. 3. Actual Results: Margins are wrong, shifted up and to the right for US Letter paper. Expected Results: Text centered on page as before upgrade. Additional info:
groff's postscript generator is configured to use A4 paper by default. I don't know enough about groff for an "official" solution. For a workaround, edit /usr/share/groff/1.18/font/devps/DESC, changing papersize /etc/papersize a4 to papersize /etc/papersize letter
groff should actually be usuing the locale LC_PAPER to determine the paper size rather than a local config file. re-assigning to groff.
Groff has an upstream discussion on how to best set the default papersize and I don't want to change this for the Red Hat Linux sources. Seems LC_PAPERSIZE will not be used and things stay as they are. /etc/papersize or groff options are possibilities to override this. greetings, Florian La Roche
