Hi all,

When I open any pdf from any source (home-made or downloaded) in
kghostview, they seem to be "stretched" wider than normal.  Also the
font is some ugly fixed-width font.

However, in acrobat, or evince, the pdf's show nicely (correct aspect
and fonts).

You can see what I mean about the aspect here, but this is not my rig.
I just found this when searching for the problem online.  (Incidentally,
I couldn't find an answer either):

I've tried manually setting the page size to A4 but no difference.
Printing works great though!

Any ideas?  Thanks!
