[GNC] How do I persuade gnucash or webkit to use us-letter and not a4 as default paper size ?

It is more likely that this is associated with the page defaults set
for the printer on your system rather than any setting within GnuCash
itself.  The locale settings on your computer likely set the page
defaults for the printer when the computer is setup.

You have not specified which OS you are using.

On Linux systems the lpadmin command can be used with the -d option to
set the default paper size, orientation etc.

On Windows from the Printer Settings (right click on the printer icon
to access), select Printer Properties, go to the Advanced tab and click
on "Printing Defaults".

Of Mac systems I have no knowledge but likely there will be a similar
process
