I can't try CVS at the moment, but I've had this problem with gv before
without groff's involvement.  Using gs(1) to view the file gives correct
output.

    $ rpm -q enscript
    enscript-1.6.1-16.2
    $ rpm -q gv
    gv-3.5.8-18.7x
    $ enscript -2rB -p foo.ps /usr/share/groff/1.17.2/tmac/e.tmac 
    [ 12 pages * 1 copy ] left in foo.ps
    1 lines were wrapped
    $ gv foo.ps     # chops off right hand side of page
    $ gs foo.ps     # all of page visible

Sending the file to a PostScript printer also results in correct output.

Doesn't prove the problem isn't groff, but suggests it may not be.

Cheers,


Ralph.
