R uses the environment variable R_PAPERSIZE to set its papersize, e.g. for postscript.
It seems the modern way is to via LC_PAPER, e.g. http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/2002-05/msg00010.html and Googling will show that people expect this to work. However, that is not set on my FC3 system, and it would affect people who use en_US as their locale in, say, Austria. Should we be making use of LC_PAPER, or would it just cause further complications? (On Windows, the locale name is used to set the default papersize, but there it is unlikely to be set inappropriately.) -- Brian D.
