Thus, the installed devps backend of groff will always emit a ``letter'' papersize postscript document. >How-To-Repeat: Goto /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/groff/font/devps, do a "make" and inspect the generated DESC: $ grep PAGE /etc/make.conf PAGE=A4 $ grep PAGE /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/groff/Makefile.inc PAGE=letter $ make -C /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/groff/font/devps $ grep papersize /usr/obj/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/groff/font/devps/DESC papersize letter >Fix: Changing PAGE=letter in /usr/src/usr.bin/groff/Makefile.inc to PAGE?=letter allows to override the make variable.
