Hi Cristian,<br>
<br>
I think the ISO B paper formats should be named B0-B10, because the ISO
A formats are named A0-A10. As far as I could see in the internet
(wikipedia, <a href="http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/iso-paper.html">http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/iso-paper.html</a>) the japanese
B paper formats aren't used too much. So I added the japanese paper
formats as JB0-JB10. If you don't agree with that, feel free to copy in
the old paper format definitions again.<br>
<br>
Besides that my changes are backward compatible. If you don't use the two new options, poster exactly behaves as it did before.<br>
<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Manfred Paulus<br>
