My wife, who has worked many years in the graphics/typesetting
industry (she was invited to be one of the first testers/providers-of-
feedback-to-the-developers at Aldus as they were creating PageMaker),
is used to working with type in explicit sizes.
When she wants eighteen-point type, dammit, she wants eighteen
points. She says anyone who speced a type size of "huger"
would have been laughed out of a job.
That's why I need this---credibility with a long-time typesetter! :)
