Nice. When has /etc/libpaper.d been added? Under what circumstances are the files in there executed? How can one provide feedback to the user?

So these lines are unnecessary. In addition, there is a debian specific patch in dvipdfm that makes it use libpaper directly. Should we remove that then? > legal|a3) > texconfig dvipdfm paper $paper > texconfig xdvi $paper > ;; > ledger|tabloid) > texconfig dvipdfm paper $paper > ;; One could add 'texconfig dvips paper $paper' here. But I am not sure if it really makes sense to support paper sizes that we cannot configure for all applications, pdfTeX being the culprit here. I would suggest staying with 'a4' and 'letter' only. cheerio ralf -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
