Already did to keyserver.org (or something like that ). The instructions on the site said it would take a while to propogate my public key to the rest of public servers. I'll send one to pgp.ai.mit.edu just to be sure though.

Looks great in gv, xdvi and acroread (for pdfs), When printing
Acroread offsets the text down and to the right (looks like a4
papersize being used, but I am explicitly asking for letter). Dvips
ofsets it to towards the top.
I've started mucking with apsfilter. At the moment, nothing works
(sigh), but I did save my printcap before mucking, so I can go back to
what I had.

In latex I use /documentclass[12pt, letterpaper]{whateverclass}
