this is normal tex :
at 10pt == 10pt
scaled 1000 = 1.0 times teh design size
this is extra in context:
sa 1 = 1 times the current bodyfont size
mo 1 = 1 times the current math bodyfont size
plus
rscale for relative scaling
so, sa 1 like definitions adapt themselves (and this is how for instance
getglyph in symbol defs can adapt itsef nicely)
(in your case i would probably use a relatively scaled typeface for arab)
