Bug#365506: gs-gpl: should respect /etc/papersize



Package: gs-gpl
Version: 8.50-1.1
Severity: normal

Hi,

I have a PostScript file for A4 paper size. When I try viewing the
file using "gs 02.ps" or converting it using "ps2pdf 02.ps" the output
is for the "Letter" paper size, which means that some centimeters are
cut off the top of the text. Using "gs -sPAPERSIZE=a4 02.ps" generates
a correct and readable PDF and shows the PostScript file properly.

gs should respect the setting in /etc/papersize as it did
previously. It is working with gs from stable.

-----
rvb@marx:~$ cat /etc/papersize 
a4
-----

The problem seems to be independent of the used PostScript file, I can
reproduce it with a lot of PostScript files. E.g. gv shows all the
files correctly and chooses A4 for displaying them.

Thank you for considering,
      René
