That definitely clarifies things, though I don't think the documentation made
this entirely clear, even if it was technically correct under that
prerequisite.
Commit 7ae6d67b
<http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/groff.git/commit/?id=7ae6d67b> remedies this
and explains it quite clearly, I think. I would say it resolves this bug,
though in its log message, Branden says he wants to expand the scope slightly
to include a related attribute.
The commit does have one very small punctuation issue. This sentence is added
to both the Texinfo manual and to groff_font(5):
"groff achieves this using the system pioneered by AT&T device-independent
troff; one size of a font is chosen as a norm, and all other sizes are scaled
linearly relative to that basis."
However, the version in Texinfo is missing the semicolon, creating a run-on
sentence. A minor quibble to a fine explanation.
