In fact, I’m having a hard time figuring out how to specify 1″ margins in
such a way that doesn’t also force the paper size to letter.
\usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry} gives me a letter document even after an
explicit `texconfig paper a4`.
Does anyone have an example document that exhibits the problem you’re
worried about?
