In the text formatting documentation at http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.15/Documentation/notation/formatting-text, when talking about the size of characters, the phrasing at one point is: "the font size can be set to an absolute value with \fontsize". Maybe this should be changed to something like "the font size can be set to an particular numeric value with \fontsize", as \fontsize is still relative to the staff size, and the size of the font will change if the staff size changes.

Rather strangely, \abs-fontsize, which does set the absolute size of the font without regard to the staff size, doesn't get a mention in this section, but only in s.A.9.1.
