Have I been sent on a wild goose chase? http://www.boxstar.com/papershops/materials/commonpapersizes.htm suggests there is a USAian paper size called "J" of 28x48 (in). http://www.archivebuilders.com/aba006.html also suggests there is such a USAian size, but gives different dimensions. could whoever mean one of the JIS paper sizes, which I'm _guessing_ might be called by some "J"-sized paper?? -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/ -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
