Creating a location variable (/etc/timezone may be good enough for that, though as a TZ variable it doesn't necessarily have to contain country information, it can just indicate the time shift from Greenwich) seems a good way of solving the issue in a complete manner, but in the short term maybe simply changing the libpaperg comment to "if in doubt, set to 'letter' for the Americas, or 'A4' for the rest of the world" would be one way of getting the job done. Maybe I should submit a "wishlist" bug for it? Drew -- PGP public key available at http://dparsons.webjump.com/drewskey.txt Fingerprint: A110 EAE1 D7D2 8076 5FE0 EC0A B6CE 7041 6412 4E4A
