OK. Well, at least it's not that end of the process ;-)

So, do you think it's possibly while the .dvi file's being prepared,
that perhaps sizes are defaulting to some value(s) other than the ones
you want?

If you'd like, send me (directly) a sample .tex file, and all the
packages/style files you're loading. If I can at least reproduce the
problem ...
