Re: [Groff] Point size and leading question

[Clarke Echols]

So what you are saying is:

If I request
    .ps 13.43
    .vs 14.26

I will get exactly those sizes, correct?

But it appears there's no way to use the \s escape to change
point sizes in other than integer amounts, as in \s+2 or \s-8.
Is that correct?

Thanks,

Clarke
