Tue 10 Jan 2017 05:27:42 PM UTC, original submission:  

groff (up to and including version 1.22.3) accepts only the predefined papersize names
when using the command line option
-dpaper=xxxx .
in all other cases the warning message like
warning: Unknown paper size `20c,10c\'
is emitted and the custom pauperize ignored.

On the other hand, custom paper sizes are accepted by the most postprocessors
like grops or gropdf.

To fix this issue, I'd suppose to extend the papersize.tmac macro accordingly.
