Joerg, good point on dumping it into a string and the NNxNN option.
Will do. I'll also look into the margin parts -- I don't know enough
typography to say whether this is "good" or not.
Dieter, do you know of any typography experts I can consult for these
sorts of questions? I'd like to have somebody on call for "expert"
level questions.
(Dieter, because I'm not sure whether you see the commits, -Tps now
supports an -Opaper=xxxx option, accepting "a4" and "letter" as
arguments, and I'm forward-looking into more advance typography.)
Thanks,
Kristaps
