[clug] GVIM paper size

[Bryan Kilgallin (iiNet)]

I'm puzzled, Scott:

>>> What does:-

>>> say?

"lp" results in the printer complaining that it wants US-letter paper!

"locale2papersize" contains the following.

{
#!/bin/sh -e
#
# locale2papersize outputs the paper size "a4" or "letter" based on
# the height and width in the locale that is passed as an argument.

export LC_PAPER=$1

height=$( locale height )
width=$( locale width )

if [ "$height" = 279 -a "$width" = 216 ]; then
     size=letter
else
     size=a4
fi

echo $size
}

But "locale" yields this.
