"My users" want to see the ps output scaled to A4, which I also think is =
the correct behaviour. Usually you increase the size of the window on =
the screen to get a better view of things, but when you want to print =
the figure it should adjust to the papersize.
Also, how do you know the figure is larger than the papersize?!

Yes, I've also seen the same problem and have been meaning to fix it. I've=

not got time right now, but will look into it when I do.

I am not able to reproduce this behavior, unless I resize the window to make 
the figure larger than A4 paper. That's not what you are talking about, is 
it?

x11FontDirectory() uses '/usr/sbin/chkfontpath' if available, to find system 
font directories.
I believe chkfontpath was developed to work with the old X server method
of font handling and is now obsolete, and gives unreliable results. 

On my system (Fedora 4) chkfontpath lists subdirectories of 
    /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/
    /usr/share/fonts/
but fails to list
    /usr/share/fonts/bitstream-vera

I propose deleting the use of chkfontpath, and simply using:
X11FontDirectories  = [
    "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/",
    "/usr/share/fonts/"
    ]

Also, fontconfig (part of the newer font handling system than makes chkfontpath
obsolete) provides utilities to query fonts:
'fc-list' lists the available fonts,
'fc-cache -v' (as root) lists the font directories.

Hi,

I haven't managed to get savefig to give correct results on the following (I 
am using ps.papersize="A4")


subplot(211)
subplot(222)
#resize the window by mouse
savefig("t.ps",orientation="landscape")

If viewed in a e.g. "gv" the drawings extend past the "A4" page.

This behaviour seems only be present after resizing the figure window.

Cheers,
Malte.
