a2ps and ghostscript

[Steve Beaty]

        i'm having a little trouble with a2ps 4.13 and ghostscript 7.07.
        when i use a2ps and the output goes to a real postscript printer,
        no problem.  when it gets run through ghostscript, the fonts don't
        come out correctly, they go beyond the page boundaries.  an example
        of this can be found at http://clem.mscd.edu/~beatys/a2ps.png

        anyone have a clue as to why?  what should i be looking at?

        thanks!
