 On typesetting output devices, each font is typically available at
 multiple sizes.  While paper size measurements in the device description
 file are in absolute units, measurements applicable to fonts must be

 size of a font is chosen as a norm, and all other sizes are scaled
 linearly relative to that basis.  The ``unit width'' is the number of
 basic units per point.
