Hallo!

The following:
-------
\definepapersize	[RM]	[width=170mm,height=240mm]
\setuppapersize	[RM]	[A4]
\setuplayout	[marking=on, location=middle]
\starttext
Bla
\stoptext
-------
results in 163mm width and 230mm height.
What is wrong here?


A second observation: file 'rm.tex' with

\startenvironment rm
...
\stopenvironment

is not found
in 'test.tex' with

\environment rm
...

renaming to 'whatever' helps

in addition: there are also options for auto-page size selection, rotation etc, so it makes sense to spent soem time playing with that; if you have transparencies etc you may want to configure flattening

acrobat talks with the printer driver and scales down to let the page fit into the printable area; you can disable this in the pribter settings

Hi Wolfgang

Compiling with:

ConTeXt  ver: 2006.06.09 13:05  fmt: 2006.6.15  int: english  mes: english

I get the correct output on a HPlaserjet2100. The only option chosen is 
auto-center and autorotate.

Make sure, that your printer does not perform any scaling.

Sorry, I was a bit crpytic before. There is a checkbox
in your Acrobat Reader print setup dialog that says
"shrink pages to fit" or something similar. Uncheck it,
and all will be good.

The proportions 210/170=1.235 are ok on screen!

Printing with ghostscript is ok too.

Printing with acrobat is the problem.

Obviously this is not a context problem. Soory!
