Hi Deri,

Yep.
$ gi paper `locate /devps/DESC`
/usr/share/groff/1.18.1/font/devps/DESC:papersize /etc/papersize a4

Ah, that's probably what I'm missing. Unfortunately, Ubuntu 8.04, due
out any day now, is still shipping 1.18.1.1-16.
http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=groff&searchon=names&subword=1&version=all&release=all
I assume this is because of Debian's fork that introduced CJK support or
whatever it was? If so, I'll make sure there's a bug on Ubuntu's groff
that they're missing mainstream improvements, evince not displaying the
right page size being a good example.
Thanks for your help.
Ralph.
