Page Layout ⇒ KOMA-Script | Specific Page Layout

[MoonKid]

I know that using Arial as a font and specifing the page borders in centimeters is typographicly stupid. But it is the standard of my university. I have no choice!

In the past I used geometry for that. But it did some things that destroy my settings for the footline.

So how can I set the page borders in centimeters?

This is my sample code

Code: Select all

\documentclass[paper=A4,pagesize=auto,12pt,footinclude=true,BCOR=0mm]{scrartcl}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{xltxtra} % lädt wiederum fontspec, was wiederum xunicode lädt
\defaultfontfeatures{Mapping=tex-text}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setdefaultlanguage[spelling=new]{german}
% Schriftart Arial
\setmainfont{Arial}

% Kopf- und Fußzeilen
\usepackage[footsepline]{scrpage2}
\usepackage[onehalfspacing]{setspace}
\recalctypearea
% Seitenränder
%\usepackage[left=25mm, right=25mm, top=25mm, bottom=20mm]{geometry}

\pagestyle{scrheadings}
\cfoot{\pagemark}
\ofoot{yyyy-mm-dd}
\ifoot{Author X}

\begin{document}
\lipsum
\end{document}

One shouldn't mix KOMA-Script's layout options with geometry. Since you need a fixed layout you should set all options with the latter:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt]{scrartcl}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{xltxtra} % lädt wiederum fontspec, was wiederum xunicode lädt
\defaultfontfeatures{Mapping=tex-text}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setdefaultlanguage[spelling=new]{german}
% Schriftart Arial
% \setmainfont{Arial}

% Kopf- und Fußzeilen
\usepackage[footsepline]{scrpage2}
\usepackage[onehalfspacing]{setspace}
\recalctypearea
% Seitenränder

\pagestyle{scrheadings}
\cfoot{\pagemark}
\ofoot{yyyy-mm-dd}
\ifoot{Author X}
\usepackage[
  paper=a4paper,
  left=25mm,
  right=25mm,
  top=25mm,
  bottom=20mm,
  includefoot,
  foot=\baselineskip,
  bindingoffset=0mm]{geometry}

\begin{document}
\lipsum
\end{document}

I take it the question is answered? I took the liberty of marking it as such...
