Why not? Because the graphics state has an impact on the size of the glyphs. If the CTM is defined in a way that all glyphs are scaled to 50%, and the font size is defined as 18pt, than the actual font size is 9pt. So... To have an idea about the font size, you need to make a guess based on the values for the baseline, ascender and descender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
