NAME

       mag - computes fontsizes and magsteps

SYNOPSIS

       mag [-Rdpi] magstep . . .

       mag [-r] [-Rdpi] fontsize . . .

DESCRIPTION

       delim  $$ This tool calculates fontsizes given magsteps.  TeXfonts are provided as true sized fonts or as
       magnifications.  The fontsize of a true sized font equals the resolution of the printer (ex.  300).   The
       fontsize  of  a font magnified $n$ magsteps equals: 1.2 sup{n} times 300 delim off rounded to its nearest
       integer value.  Fontnames for TeX fonts normally consists of the name (cmr), pointsize  (10),  type  (pk)
       and fontsize (360), for example: cmr10.360pk.

EXAMPLES

       The result of mag -R240 -2 0 0.5 1 will be:

            167 240 263 288

       The  inverse  function is computed with the -r option. The result of mag -r -R240 167 240 263 288 will be
       the fontsteps:

            -2 0 0.5 1

       The UNIX shells allow command substitution. One can write:

            mag -r -R240 `mag -R240 -2 0 0.5 1`
