Something like, on first installation, or debconf question "Should xdvi/... respect /etc/papersize" with an appropriate file in /etc/libpaper.d in such a case: paper=`paperconf` case "$paper" in a4) texconfig paper $paper texconfig dvipdfm paper $paper texconfig xdvi $paper ;; letter) texconfig paper $paper texconfig dvipdfm paper $paper texconfig xdvi us ;; legal|a3) texconfig dvipdfm paper $paper texconfig xdvi $paper ;; ledger|tabloid) texconfig dvipdfm paper $paper ;; a1|a1r|a2|a2r|a3|a3r|a4|a4r|a5|a5r|a6|a6r|a7|a7r|b1|b1r|b2|b2r|b3|b3r|b4|b4r|b5|b5r|b6|b6r|b7|b7r|c1|c1r|c2|c2r|c3|c3r|c4|c4r|c5|c5r|c6|c6r|c7|c7r|foolscap|usr) texconfig xdvi $paper ;; esac Julian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
