10.1.7 Why Does it Refuse to Change the Font Size
-------------------------------------------------

     _a2ps does not seem to honor '--font-size' (or '--lines-per-page',
     or '--chars-per-line')._

   This is probably because you used '-1'..'-9' after the '--font-size'.
This is wrong, because the options '-1'..'-9' set the font size (so that
there are 80 characters per lines), and many other things (Note: Page
Options, option '--font-size').

   Hence 'a2ps --font-size=12km -4' is exactly the same thing as 'a2ps
-4', but is different from 'a2ps -4 --font-size=12km'.  Note that the
'pure' options (no side-effects) to specify the number of virtual pages
are '--columns' and '--rows'.
