Follow-up Comment #11, bug #58581 (project groff):
To resolve this I need to properly understand the hocus pocus behind most of
the measurements in DESC and font description files.
An expression like "inches/resolution" is pretty much impossible for me to
fathom. Since no one argues the claim that device resolution "res" is in
basic units per inch, the aforementioned expression ends up being in square
inches per basic unit.
That is unintelligible to me. Even if it ultimately makes sense as a
suggestion of how a font is scaled, a person should not have to bust out
multiplication of fractions with cancellation arrows on the units to persuade
themselves that they can understand these file formats.
