Well, 11906 is the correct value in twips (twenty in a point, 72 points
in an inch => 1440 twips in an inch) for 210mm anyway (11905.51 twips),
Unless the calculation of adding up bits of a page can be done in
100thmm of a mm and the final value converted to twips there's going to
be rounding errors, sloppyFit might be the easiest solution and/or
something of that nature.
