I am a developer of Vine Linux, which is a Japanese local community Linux distribution. And, I maintain texlive and its related packages in this project.
For this bug, I make a patch to support this below: diff -up libpaper-1.1.24/lib/paperspecs.paperspecs libpaper-1.1.24/lib/paperspecs --- libpaper-1.1.24/lib/paperspecs.paperspecs 2011-01-13 18:30:53.000000000 +0900 +++ libpaper-1.1.24/lib/paperspecs 2011-01-13 18:32:05.000000000 +0900 @@ -53,3 +53,16 @@ flse 612 936 csheet 1224 1584 dsheet 1584 2448 esheet 2448 3168 +jisb0 1030 1456 mm +jisb1 728 1030 mm +jisb2 515 728 mm +jisb3 364 515 mm +jisb4 257 364 mm +jisb5 182 257 mm +jisb6 128 182 mm +jisb7 91 128 mm +jisb8 64 91 mm +jisb9 45 64 mm +jisb10 32 45 mm +jisb11 22 32 mm +jisb12 16 22 mm Diff finished. Thu Jan 13 18:32:36 2011 We, Japanese people often use the JIS B series of paper sizes. In the CVS of the dvipdfmx projects http://cvs.ktug.or.kr/viewcvs/dvipdfmx/src/dpxconf.c?view=markup&sortby=date we can see supporting some papersizes for the JIS B series. Since almost people use a suitable paper size to print a document, I think that src/dpxconf.c only supports some papersizes for the JIS B series :) Moreever, in config.ps of the TeX Live's SVN on tug.org http://tug.org/svn/texlive/trunk/Master/texmf/dvips/config/config.ps?view=markup we can alse see the JIS B series of paper sizes. For many applications with printing, drawing, viewing, and so on, libpaper is a portable library, and more applications will be using it. So, I think that libpaper also may support the JIS B series of paper sizes with the prefix "jis" and may support more paper sizes as much as possible. I would like to apply above patch.
