If the papersize file does not exist, programs using the paper library default to\nusing letter as a fall-back value\n\n### CAVEATS\n\nThis manual page documents the format of the papersize file that is read by the libpaper  li‐\nbrary.  Some programs that read this file do not yet use the library and may have trouble ig‐\nnoring whitespace and comments in the file; they may also require that the paper names use  a\nspecific capitalization.\n\n### DOCUMENTATION\n\nYves Arrouye <arrouye@debian.org>\n\n### SEE ALSO\n\npaperconf(1)\npaperconfig(8)\n\n\n\n\n\nPAPERSIZE(5)\n\n"
