Jonathan,
Does the fixing mean that one does not need to obligatorily use the -papersize option for
B5paper, and other standard papersizes?
One other, though off topic subject. Why are two sizes developed: XY and XYpaper? Maybe
one off the publishing specialist on the list knows this.
Regards,
Robert.
