I disagree concerning this behavior. The ps2pdf documentation doesn't say that the result depends on the locales, and it shouldn't (as for any conversion program): ps2pdf should keep the same page size as the one declared in the PS file. Using -sPAPERSIZE=a4 is not a solution since the page size may be different. Though one could write a wrapper that would grep the page size declared in the PS file, this behaviour should be the default. The locales are useful (as a default) only when the information isn't available. -- Vincent Lefèvre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.org/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arenaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
