Subject: paps: please add a --gutter-width option
Package: paps
Version: 0.6.8-2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Please add a --gutter-width with which to set the gutter when printing
multiple columns. This is needed because with 8-points Courier it is
hard to get 80 characters in a two-column layout.
Attached is a pretty minimal patch that implements this.
