With some help and some searching, I came to this solution: The groff home page (http://www.gnu.org/software/groff/groff.html), in the section "macro packages", tells about the option "-dpaper=<size>" available to groff through the papersize.tmac file. It is enough to edit /etc/man.conf and add the options "-dpaper=a4 -P-pa4" to the line which reads "TROFF/usr/bin/groff -Tps -mandoc", which becomes: TROFF /usr/bin/groff -Tps -dpaper=a4 -P-pa4 -mandoc With this setup, the command "man -t setfont" will output a PostScript file formatted for A4 paper by groff. This solution is better than using enscript because it does typography considerations (by groff) when producing the output. Regards. Romildo
