Hmm. Looks like I'll need some help with this after all. I'm totally confused why I should end up with letter as the papersize for the PDF. All configuration files say A4: /etc/papersize:1:a4 /etc/texmf/dvipdfm/config/config:18:p a4 /etc/texmf/dvipdfm/dvipdfmx.cfg:43:p a4 /etc/texmf/xdvi/XDvi:24:!*paper: a4 The only one that says letter is commented out, and even that is identical on both systems: /etc/xpdf/xpdfrc:60:#psPaperSize letter [more time passes with a lot of head scratching...] Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Hang on.... Looks like I can reproduce this after all. On the sid system where all is fine, I have: $ cat /etc/default/locale # File generated by update-locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 On the sid system where I get the "letter" size output, I have: $ cat /etc/default/locale # File generated by update-locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LANGUAGE="en_NL:en_US:en_GB:en" If I 'export LANGUAGE="en_NL:en_US:en_GB:en"' on the "good" sid system, I get the same issue The LANGUAGE line is an old artifact from the installer if you installed with language=English and country=Netherlands. Would not have expected this to influence PDF building though. At least, can't find anything about it in the manpages. And it does look like a regression (or at least a "feature change") as having the same on an Etch system does _not_ result in a changed paper size. Cheers, FJP
