.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
In some case, a font contains incorrect information about its size (typically in the case of a hacked TrueType font), which results in a bad text layout when such a font is used in combination with the other fonts. To overcome this problem, the m17n library loads information about font\-size adjustment from the m17n database by the tags <font, resize>. The data is loaded as a plist of this format.

\fCFONT\-SPEC\fP is to specify properties of a font. \fCFOUNDRY\fP to \fCREGISTRY\fP are symbols corresponding to Mfoundry to Mregistry property of a font. See \fBm17nFont\fP for the meaning of each property.
.PP
\fCADJUST\-RATIO\fP is an integer number specifying by percentage how much the font\-size must be adjusted. For instance, this \fCPER\-FONT\fP:
