I'm still trying to print man pages on US Letter paper without success. This is the same problem as getting "groff -Tps ..." to emit output fo letter size paper, which doesn't seem to be so easy to do. And so, I have been led to locales, which seem to be very useful and very undocumented. Can anyone point me to documentation on the following: Questions (1) How is the locale set? It's easy to read it: just type "$ locale". (2) How does the locale relate to the environment variables LC_*? (3) How does the locale control the paper size? "$ locale" prints out a value for LC_PAPER, but "man 7 locale" doesn't refer to it. BTW: I was advised to "$ echo letter > /etc/papersize", to get groff to emit the right kind of output. It doesn't work. Also have been advised to edit /etc/sysconfig/i18n but it's not clear just what to put into it. Thanks - jon
