Default Paper Size on Linux

In OpenOffice.org VCL has a concept of a default paper size for a printer, and most applications then have a parallel concept of a default paper size for pages in a documents.

The VCL paper size for a printer can be seen in the UI in file->printer settings->properties->paper sizeThe Application paper size for a page can be seen in the UI in e.g. writer from format->page

The VCL paper size doesn't matter greatly as its overridden by most OpenOffice.org applications, only simple applications like Math have no page style to override it.

To make sure that the text will fit the paper where it will be printed, there is a need to select the size. For the short bond paper size in Microsoft (MS) Word, here it is: Paper Size – 8.5 inches by 11 inches Other sizes of bond papers may also be chosen in the Microsoft (MS) Word depending on which size you will be printing your document on. Product information for inkjet and laser paper in the A3 and A4 paper sizes is available from the cross-reference charts (indexed by paper size): Paper-size charts: A3 paper - A4 paper Or refer to the 24 lb. Bright white bond product pages. ACYPAPER Plotter Paper 24 x 150, CAD Paper Rolls, 20 lb. Bond Paper on 2' Core for CAD Printing on Wide Format Ink Jet Printers, 4 Rolls per Box. Premium Quality 4.8 out of 5 stars 124.

In order that the text will fit the paper where it will be printed, there is a need to select the size. There a lot of size for every papers: The size for Short bond paper or also known locally as 'Letter' which is 8.5' x 11'. The size for Long Bond Paper or also known locally as 'Legal' which is 8.5' x 13'.

VCL Default Paper Size

On Linux this default paper size is determined in vcl/unx/source/printer/printerinfomanager.cxx as PrinterInfoManager::initSystemDefaultPaper

Application Default Paper Size

The default paper size is derived by SvxPaperInfo::GetDefaultPaperSize in svx/source/items/paperinf.cxx

GTK

For comparison gtk has gtk_paper_size_get_default which takes this from the locale as well, using gtk-mapping as a fallback when glibc's _NL_PAPER_WIDTH/_NL_PAPER_HEIGHT is not available (note that gtk only recognizes the A4 and Letter sizes from _NL_PAPER_WIDTH/_NL_PAPER_HEIGHT)

• LC_PAPER, LC_MESSAGES (gtk/gtkpapersize.c)

gtk mapping

All locales are A4 except for: en_US, en_CA, es_PR, es_US. See gnome#618000 to sync those defaults with this page and CLDR 1.8.1

Sources

Wikipedia currently states that the US and Canada officially don't use A4 but that in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Venezuela and the Philippines Letter is commonly used. Meanwhile at Microsoft the list of Letter nations is, the US, Canada, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Venezuela and 'Latin American countries'.

glibc

While glibc currently lists the US, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Venezuela and the Philippines as the Letter using territories. ([previously there were some oddities where en_US was Letter while es_US was A4, and en_CA was Letter while ik_CA and iu_CA were A4.

CLDR 1.6

At unicode.org the only locales that CLDR 1.6 listed as using Letter were the US and Canada.

CLDR 1.7

In CLDR 1.7 after cldr#1710), the Letter using locales were listed as the US, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Venezuela and the Philippines.

CLDR 1.8.1

In CLDR 1.8.1 after cldr#2585 the Letter using locales are listed as the US, Canada, Belize, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Puerto Rico, Venezula and the Philippines.

Summary

Mapping locales to page size was historically done inconsistently in OOo. Now we have one place that does it and reconciled the locales that have Letter as an appropriate default. The algorithm in use is that when taking a locale setting to use to look up a default paper size that we try through LC_PAPER first, using _NL_PAPER_WIDTH/_NL_PAPER_HEIGHT (as shown here), and then fallback to mapping a locale territory to a default according to best fallback mapping below in order of LC_ALL, LC_MESSAGES, LANG, en_US

paperconf's own default of using Letter as a final fallback sucks as most people use A4, ideally paperconf could be convinced to use the same mechanism in the absence of a override setting, which is what we now do in Fedora.

Short Bond Paper Size And A4

Probable Best Fallback Mapping

• United States (*_US), Letter : glibc agrees, CLDR 1.6 agreed, CLDR 1.7 agreed, CLDR 1.8.1 agrees
• Canada (*_CA), Letter : glibc agrees, CLDR 1.6 agreed, CLDR 1.7 agreed, CLDR 1.8.1 agrees
• Belize (*_BZ), Letter : glibc doesn't support this locale, CLDR 1.6 disagreed, CLDR 1.7 disagreed, CLDR 1.8.1 agrees. As a concrete example all the Belize Government Portal pdf forms are in Letter format.
• Chile (*_CL), Letter : glibc agrees, CLDR 1.6 disagreed, CLDR 1.7 agreed, CLDR 1.8.1 agrees
• Costa Rica (*_CR), Letter : glibc agrees, CLDR 1.6 disagreed, CLDR 1.7 disagreed, CLDR 1.8.1 agrees.
• Guatemala (*_GT), Letter : glibc agrees, CLDR 1.6 disagreed, CLDR 1.7 disagreed, CLDR 1.8.1 agrees
• Nicaragua (*_NI), Letter : glibc disagrees, CLDR 1.6 disagreed, CLDR 1.7 disagreed, CLDR 1.8.1 agrees. Most of the forms I see on the various .ni government sites are in A4 however. But according to cldr#2585 'There is no day to day use for A4 size'
• Panama (*_PA), Letter : glibc disagrees, CLDR 1.6 disagreed, CLDR 1.7 disagreed, CLDR 1.8.1 agrees. As a concrete example the medical forms at www.minsa.gob.pa, e.g. this form are in Letter format.
• Puerto Rico (*_PR), Letter : glibc agrees, CLDR 1.6 disagreed, CLDR 1.7 agreed, CLDR 1.8.1 agrees.
• El Salvador (*_SV), Letter : glibc disagrees, CLDR 1.6 disagreed, CLDR 1.7 agreed, CLDR 1.8.1 agrees. As a concrete example the 2009 Election Results are all in Letter format.
• Venezuela (*_VE, Letter : glibc agrees, CLDR 1.6 disagreed, CLDR 1.7 agreed, CLDR 1.8.1 agrees.
• Mexico (*_MX), Letter : glibc agrees, CLDR 1.6 disagreed, CLDR 1.7 agreed, CLDR 1.8.1 agrees.
• Colombia (*_CO), Letter : glibc agrees, CLDR 1.6. disagreed, CLDR 1.7 agreed, CLDR 1.8.1 agrees.
• Philippines (*_PH), Letter : glibc agrees, CLDR 1.6 disagreed, CLDR 1.7 agreed, CLDR 1.8.1 agrees). There is some ambivalence around whether Letter (known sometimes in The Philippines as 'Short Bond Paper' ?) or A4 is the most suitable default. Some random blog comments suggest that Letter is still the most common paper. As a concrete example the Philippines Driving License form is in Letter size. See notes on the 'Legal'/'Long Bond Paper' for other gotchas with Filipino paper sizes.

All others, A4 (including Brazil, Argentina)

Pulling PageSize from LC_PAPER

This gives dimensions in rounded mm, e.g. with Letter getting recorded as 216mm x 279mm, while the accurate size of Letter is 215.9 × 279.4. So a conversion to rounded to whole mm is required to test for recognized page sizes.

Notes on Legal, Folio, German Legal Fanfold and Long Bond Paper

The Philippines has a paper size called 'Long Bond Paper', also known locally as 'Legal' which is 8.5' x 13'. The same paper size is apparently known in some Latin American countries, e.g. Guatemala as Tamaño oficio or Oficio. The US Legal size is 8.5' x 14', causes confusion in at least the Philippines. 8.5' x 13' is called 'German Legal Fanfold' in the PPD specification, but some e.g. Microsoft call that size 'Folio'. Unfortunately for the 'Folio' term, in the PPD spec it is a different size than this (210mm x 220mm, i.e. 8.27' x 13'), and so is another ambivalent term probably best to be avoided.

Notes on Windows Paper Sizes

The Windows Documentation has some confusion around the two different JIS and ISO B paper types.

DMPAPER_B5 is documented as JIS and the documented dimensions match that format, but DMPAPER_B4 is then documented as JIS but the documented dimensions match the ISO format B5 of 250 × 353 mm. Given the presence of DMPAPER_ISO_B4 and the absence of DMPAPER_B4_JIS I'll bet that it is really the JIS size of 257 x 364, which is backed up by the PPD Specification stating that the Microsoft DMPAPER_B4 size is 257x364 and by the Microsoft Word UI which lists B4 (JIS) with a width of 257x364.

Since writing the above, the windows documentation has been refreshed and moved and now matches the above findings.

Meanwhile:

suggest that for some special reason B6 Envelopes are rotated 90 degrees from B6 paper size (125 x 176mm) while the other B sizes when used as Envelopes are not rotated. This time the PPD Specification agrees with MS and gives

in contrast to:

DMPAPER_ENV_B6 doesn't matter so us, so lets just accept that it signifies an envelope that is the same size as a rotated B6 paper size.

Turning our eyes to the Excel Documentation we have more confusion with the XlPaperSize enumation. Here we have..

well what size is xlPaperB5 ? Is it truly ISO A5 (148 mm x 210 mm) like the comment says. Or might it be ISO B5, i.e. 176 × 250 mm. Or, seeing as the XlPaperSize enumeration has the same values as the DMPAPER values for all other values, are they actually the same values as DMPAPER_B4 and DMPAPER_B5, which we've earlier determined are JIS B4 and B5 sizes, and not ISO sizes at all. That's the most likely answer, i.e. the text is completely and totally wrong.

Notes on Kai Paper Sizes

For some reason in OOo we have inherited from the past (they were there in the original cvs checkin) three 'Kai' sizes. Stated originally in paperinf.hxx as..

A twip is a TWentyInPoint, where a Point is 1/72 of a inch, i.e. 1440 twips in an inch. The above twips seem to be been generated fromtaking the cm values and multiplying by the rather inaccurate 567twips per cm and rounding the result. i.e. the base unit of the calculation is the cm values in the comments.

This documentation states their sizes as

Which tallies with the sizes used above.

But (at the time of writing, 2009-06-11) the Papierformat de.wikipedia claims

As does this page

And this Konica Minolta magicolor 7450 printer technical guide also gives

There are other sizes listed as well in various places, e.g. 195 mm x 271 mm etc. So its all a bit confusing, and I'm not the first one to think so.

Kai is probably the transliteration of 开 and is probably just a generic term for a portion, i.e. a 16开 is 1/16 of a master sheet, and depending on the size of the master sheet that its cut from and the edge trimming used, a 16开 differs in size.

e.g. this page here where depending on the size of the master sheet, a 1/16 differs, as one example taking a master sheet of the paper-roll manufacturer size of 787 mmm × 1092 mm sheet (and the original native units here for the sheet in the cutting machine are more than likely 31 inch by 43 inches, converted to mm) then they cut a 1/16 sheet from this as a 16开 195 mm × 271 mm. Different size sheets, different trimming values => different sizes for a 开

So, given that we have a Kai 16 size in OOo and are probably stuck with it, should it be 184 mm or 185 mm in width..

1. This article is probably the most translatable of them, it contains the classic pile of near random different numbers, 184 mm, 185 mm, 195 mm etc. But helpfully heads off the page with 'The common size are 8 开: 368 x 260; 16 开: 260 x 184; 32 开: 184 x 130'
2. This complaint says the Chinese version of Microsoft Word uses 184 mm for 16开 (His office has a 195 mm x 270 mm 16开 variety)
3. This this third hand report that 184 mm was physically written on the box of paper

I reckon we should stick with 184 mm as the canonical value for the 'Kai 16' paper size that we've got, rather than change it to 185 mm

Bond paper is a strong, high quality, durable paper consisting of up to 100% rag pulp. Probably best known for its important role in offices as the paper of choice for letterhead, envelopes, and other papers for official business, it is also used for memos, announcements, manuals, flyers, newsletters, reports, personalized stationery, brochures, and postings. ATM, cash registers, and engineering and architectural drawings also use this paper. Acid free versions is used in preservation, for example, interleaving archival material. It is also available with preprinted designs or borders. Cockroach simulator for mac.

Arts and Crafts Uses

This type of paper got its name from its use in printing bonds and legal documents, but now it is used in a wide variety of arts and crafts. It can be used to create model airplanes, for example. Bond paper is also used to make drawing pads and easel paper for use with a variety of media including crayons, pencils, colored markers, and paint. It is available in white, as well as pastel and bright colors such as blue, buff, canary, lemon yellow, red, salmon, and watermelon, giving it added versatility for cutting and pasting projects, such as Christmas ornaments and cut-out snowflake decorations.

Bond Goes Green

Office bond is available in 500-sheet reams in letter or legal size and in a variety of weights and brightnesses. It is available in environmentally friendly versions, including partially recycled or 100% recycled options. Components of 100% recycled bond may be, for example, 25% cotton, 30% post-consumer waste, and 45% pre-consumer waste. Partially recycled paper may contain, for example, 50% virgin fiber and 50% recycled material in the form of 25% cotton, 15% post-consumer waste, and 10% recovered waste fibers.

Where Does It Fit in With Other Papers?

Paper weight is described in various ways. One system uses point sizes that measure the thickness of a single sheet in thousandths of an inch. Basis weight takes a measurement in pounds of the weight of 500 sheets of the standard size of the paper, but because the size of different types of paper is not consistent, comparing basis weights is complicated. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) paper industry standard, which measures weight in grams per square meter (gsm), is deemed the most consistent paper weight system for comparisons between paper types. Bond paper is in the medium textweight range.

Sizes

Bond is sold in both reams and rolls:

• 20-lb check plot bond paper for monochrome inkjet printing comes in rolls that are 24 to 42 inches wide (61 to 107 cm) and 150 to 500 feet long (46 to 152 m).


• 21-lb universal bond for line drawings in black and color comes in 17-, 24-, 36-, 42-, and 60-inch wide rolls (43-, 61-, 91-, 107-, and 152-cm) that are 150 feet long (46 m).


• 24-lb bond paper for monochrome and CAD inkjet printers, for line drawings and imposition proofing comes in 24-, 36-, and 42-inch roll widths (61, 91, and 107 cm) and 150 and 300-foot lengths (46 and 92 m).
