OK, so I've not long back changed folkinfo to at least enable those who
premit cookies to select a preference between letter and A4 for printing pdf
files from the site. Should I also consider allowing 9 x 12 as a paper size
or is that pretty much reserved for publications?  I only know the UK
situation where you would expect everyone to have A4 for thier printer.
