NAME
     mag - computes TeX fontsizes and magsteps

SYNOPSIS
     mag [-Rdpi] magstep . . .

     mag [-r] [-Rdpi] fontsize . . .

DESCRIPTION
     delim  $$ This tool calculates fontsizes given magsteps.  TeXfonts are pro-
     vided as true sized fonts or as magnifications.  The  fontsize  of  a  true
     sized  font  equals the resolution of the printer (ex.  300).  The fontsize
     of a font magnified $n$ magsteps equals: 1.2 sup{n}  times  300  delim  off
     rounded  to  its  nearest	integer value.	Fontnames for TeX fonts normally
     consists of the name (cmr), pointsize (10), type (pk) and	fontsize  (360),
     for example: cmr10.360pk.

EXAMPLES
     The result of mag -R240 -2 0 0.5 1 will be:

	  167 240 263 288

     The  inverse  function is computed with the -r option. The result of mag -r
     -R240 167 240 263 288 will be the fontsteps:

	  -2 0 0.5 1

     The UNIX shells allow command substitution. One can write:

	  mag -r -R240 `mag -R240 -2 0 0.5 1`
