Ivo,
The problem is caused by the footer string width calculation. It's based
on 'page <page>/<total>' but is rendered as 'page 1/7' which is narrower.
Right justification is calculated by setting the X value to the right margin
minus the string width, so in this case it's off by a bit.
'<page>' can be translated earlier in the build, since we know which output
page number is being created, but '<total>' cannot.
The translation code was left in the output step
(R4PBuilder>>updateOutputPages) to keep in all in one place.
I'm not sure what the best fix would be. Perhaps the #updateOutputPages can
adjust the X value after the string replacement.
I'll look into it, but no quick fix this time ;-)
Bob

"I also discovered a second minor problem. The alignment in the footer is
'right',
but apparently there still some extra space on the right
side of the page numbering."
