Now seriously, have you tried removing the "shrink to fit" option when printing it? it might help. Here, if i don't do that, I end up with letter pages scaled to 96% of normal size when trying to print them on A4 paper.
As for providing alternate sizes, I know what nightmare that can be. However, one very nice paper size is american comic book size (17 x 26 cm - 6 5/8" x 10 ¼" for those using ACU/Imperial), not for printing, but for displaying in a widescreen turned 90º. In my tablet (Asus eee Pad Transformer, with a 1280x800 10.1" screen) it maximizes screen real estate (Android 3+ uses 48 pixels on the bottom of the screen for the system bar). |
My understanding is we did the switchover at around 1860...It kinda got overshadowed by some people getting upset about other states allowing people to be owned and those states in a temper tantrum attacked the first states... Needless to say the business of killing each other was kind of distracting.
