I've investigated how to extend the -ms macro package to support
fractional point sizes in a backwards compatible way. Until now I've
only found one solution which is rather ugly but should work with
virtually all older documents also.
The idea is to specify `point size * 100':
.nr PS 1225 \" 12.25pt
Since probably no document will ever ask for a document size of 300pt
or larger, it is straightforward to add code like this:
.ie \n[PS] >= 300 \
. ps (\n[PS]z / 100u)
.el \
. ps \n[PS]
Similar code could be added for \n[VS], \n[FPS], and \n[FVS] also.
What do you think?
