Hi Jeff, The API for Font changed a bit in the 2.3.x dev series so if you are planning to do a FontImplementation then I have to recommend that you use this as your base otherwise your next update might find things coming unstuck.
W.r.t units and meanings, they are all inspired by freetype as interfacing with freeytpe was the guide to the implementation of osgText i.e. I made the assumption that the freetype guys new what they were doing are knew the most appropriate naming convetion to use. So if you want a definitive meaning head over the freetype docs. Robert.
