[XeTeX] Custom page size

[Carsten Ziegert]

I am using the KOMA packages, e.g. scrbook, and the crop package to
print marks for the paper cutter. Thus, the custom page is printed in
the centre of an A4 page.

\documentclass[10pt,twoside,titlepage,paper=138mm:208mm,DIV=calc,index=totoc]{scrbook}
\usepackage[cam,a4,center,noinfo]{crop}

But maybe KOMA is recommended more for a German speaking context.
