The metrics used for layout are from the 12pt font (scaled up by 2). Off the top of my head I'm not actually sure whether we draw the glyphs of the 12pt font or the 24pt font. Rob -- "He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all." [Isaiah 53:5-6]
