Do you mean you want a command that "magically" crops the PDF to the  
bounding box of what is actually drawn on the page? No, there's no  
such option at the moment.

The -p (paper size) option will make a PDF of any size you like, but  
you have to specify the size explicitly.

Times New Roman is a Latin-script font, and doesn't include Greek  
characters.

Actually, it's not that simple: there are many versions of Times New  
Roman. For several years, the versions shipped with Windows have  
included a much more extensive character set. I believe if you have  
the latest MS Office for OS X, that also includes a TNR with a larger  
character inventory, probably supporting Greek, but earlier versions  
(including Office X) had a Latin-only Times New Roman.
