[MLton-devel] dvips options wrong

[Henry Cejtin]

The  Postscript  of the user guide in the experimental release, and I suspect
all the Postscript produced from TeX, is formatted for an A4 page instead  of
a  Letter  page.   The reason is that what ever machine ran the dvips had not
adjusted the file
    /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/config.ps
so that it defaults to Letter paper.

The fix is to move the lines

    @ A4size 210mm 297mm
    @+ %%PaperSize: A4

after the lines

    @ letterSize 8.5in 11in

    @ letter 8.5in 11in
    @+ %%BeginPaperSize: Letter
    @+ letter
    @+ %%EndPaperSize

For some reason Red Hat, which I assume is mainly shipping  in  the  US,  has
always shipped dvips configured for A4 paper by default.
