[hylafax-users] wrong pagesizes from sendfax

[Matthias Ruckenbauer <Matthias.Ruckenbauer@xxxxxx>]

My problem sending TIFFs and PS-ses (see my posting from march 14th)
seems to be a problem of sendfax.
I tested this now and created TIFFs with _exactly_ a4 format
(210.25x297.25 mm^2, 300dpi) and rounded a4 (210.0x297.0 mm^2, 300dpi)
and watched with

set -x
exec 1>/var/spool/fax/tmp/mylog 2>&1

in the tiff2ps what happens
In each case there appear the lines:

+ test 6 '!=' 0
+ shift
+ pagelength=280
+ shift

which means to me, that sendfax gives tiff2fax a wrong pagelength
parameter (which results in ps2fax/tiff2fax giving gs a
-sPAPERSIZE=letter parameter)

Ich checked my /usr/lib/fax/pagesizes file (added below) and it seems
OK, at least I cannot find any reason, why a 210x297 page should be
treated as NA-LET.
Only when I put a comment (#) in front of all 'American...' pagesizes I
get a correct result (i.e.:

+ test 6 '!=' 0
+ shift
+ pagelength=279    <-- sic!
+ shift

and ps2fax (tiff2fax resp.) calls gs with -sPAPERSIZE=a4.

This is though not a desireable way of action, because this should later
on work for recieving faxes too, and we might well recieve NA-LET format
faxes.

Is there anything I didn't see/understand?
Any europeans here encountering the same problem?
