problem using a2ps with option -1

[Goettel, Olaf]

Hi,

I use a2ps version 4.13 LPRng (3.6.24) and apsfilter (6.1.1). 

Problem:
Trying to print an ASCII file landscape, with a small font size to get 132
character per line rather than 80, on a single virtual page seemed to be
impossible.

apsfilter calls a2ps with the following command line:
a2ps -M A4dj --center-title=/etc/hosts '-bPrinted by root from redhat' -X
iso1 -g --font-size=8 -1 --borders=no --no-header -r -q -o -

man a2ps
[snip]
     -1, -2, ..., -9
              predefined  font sizes and layouts for 1.. 9 virtual
                              
[snip]

But the a2ps command seems to ignore parameters when the "-1" is given e.g.
the font-size, ... .



regards
