Only the first definition is +normally used. This means that the user's paperspecs file overrides +sizes in the system file (see below). +.PP +Multiple definitions are also used to allow inexact definitions to be +looked up by size. For example, the \fBLC_PAPER\fR mechanism available +on some systems defines paper sizes in whole numbers of millimetres, +which results in a definition for Letter size that does not exactly +match the definition in inches. +.SH FILES +.TP +.B /etc/paperspecs +System list of paper sizes. +.TP +.B $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/paperspecs +User's list of paper sizes.
