   The header will make the line width *apparently* correct.

   Yeah. The fax header has the proper line width, the rest not.

   Please try the following: convert a DVI file to ps with

   $ dvips -o test.ps test.dvi

   and the ps to G3 with

   $ gs -sOutputFile=test.g3.%d -sDEVICE=dfaxhigh test.ps

   (or use "faxg3" if you don't have dfaxhigh available).

   Finally, look at the page width with

   $ g3topbm <test.g3.1 |pnmfile -
   (or: g3topbm <... |head -2 )

   and check whether the page width is unequal 1728 pixels. If yes, get dvips
   5.47 from ftp.leo.org (mgetty directory) and try again, now it should work.

you are right! it is the dvips problem! thanks a lot. i got dvips5.47
and think the problem is solved now!
