latex-papersize – Calculate LaTeX settings for any font and paper size
The package is a Python script, whose typical use is when preparing printed material for users with low vision. The most effective way of doing this is to print on (notional) small paper, and then to magnify the result; the script calculates the settings for various font and paper sizes.
