Status: R X-Status: X-Keywords: X-UID: 1957 [Hans Aberg] | Is there not a problem here: PostScript fonts may only come in one | size, which then is rescaled. | | But in correct typesetting, as in TeX fonts, the weights and | proportions | actually change with the font size. | | So how does that work out here? the same way as in the rest of the world: by ignoring it. if somebody makes a PostScript font for a variety of design sizes, TeX can accomodate it. most PostScript fonts come in one size fits all, which TeX also can handle. there is no problem here.
