Bug#215841: Make A4 the default paper size, not Letter
Package: openoffice.org
Version: 1.1.0-1
Severity: wishlist
First off, a very big thank-you for getting OpenOffice.org into Debian!
A minor point. In the file /etc/openoffice/psprint.conf, the default
paper size is set to Letter (search for the key PPD_PageSize). Please
make this A4, which is what over 95% of the world uses. If you need
further clarification as to why metric paper sizes should be used, I'd
recommend Markus Kuhn's "International Standard Paper Sizes", which you
can find at http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/iso-paper.html.
Better yet, it would be good if you could integrate support for the
libpaper (libpaper1 and libpaper-utils) package. That way, the necessary
information would come from /etc/papersize.
Yours sincerely,
John Zaitseff
