It has to be, doesn’t it? #(set-paper-size "a4landscape" 'landscape) 
doesn’t help, because then it’s displayed wrong by both evince and 
PyQtPdfViewer (I don’t know its exact name, the one in Frescobaldi…). 
Can’t test printing right now.
Although: I get furious every time I feed an A4 page into a normal copy 
machine (at my university) the wrong way and the damn thing isn’t able 
to figure it out, but goes exactly with the orthogonal relation and 
creates a cropped print. This is 2018, man… and that’s still happening.

Best, Simon
