[also sorry if I used HTML formatting earlier, sometimes it is turned |

It could have been this crazy pdf I was printing, which was one of the |
| 14 |
first times I was really using evince a lot since other things were |
| 15 |
also complaining. I had pdftk'ed different files, and I think some of |
| 16 |
them were like US Letter and others were A4 and others weren't |
| 17 |
specified. Well, I kind of erased that experience from my memory, but |
| 18 |
I know almost everything on different OSes didn't like what I'd done, |
| 19 |
whatever it was. So this could be a very bad test case. There was |
| 20 |
something else in my mind from testing it that made me kind of shiver |
| 21 |
in a bad way, but I forget. It should be a good program from what I |
| 22 |
know, however. |

I'll check out what I can do for printing from it and maybe making it prettier. |

Yeah, I kinda forget, but I assume it wasn't removed from my world for |
| 36 |
no reason at all. |
