If you don't set landscape then rotatefoilhead prints in > landscape. So you see, if you want all your foilheads to be printed in > landscape mode you should set the landscape paper option. so i did A4, landscape, and this is fine when i use psstill to rotatem an d then use acroread but gv still cut the right part (like it would be a portrait margin). the text is in there, as u can see in portrait mode, the bottom part is there. so ot seems to be a gv part. am i the only one to have this issue (release of gv in M 7.2), or is it a known issue ? despite i have a workaround, im using a shareware (ie not OSS), and it s a two steps process, so its not a long term solution. > > I _always_ use landscape¹ and _only_ > use foilheads or shortfoilheads.
