Not everything is necessarily worth documenting.

Description: This is a digitally signed message part
I'm running the following code
\version "2.25.12"
\markup { LOL }
\markup { \magnify #2.0 LOL }
and the results are not really precise. When producing --eps, the relevant
output lines are
/C059-Roman 3.86523438 output-scale div selectfont
/C059-Roman 7.73242188 output-scale div selectfont
Sorry, my mail client changed the formatting in a way I didn't expect.

…expects an integer size scaled by PANGO_SCALE, which is 1024. That is, we
are
limited to a precision of 1/1024 points on the font size.

An "evidence" for this might be that the difference
7.73242188 - 7.73046876
is pretty close to 2/1024.
