New issue 2435 by address@hidden: Font size setting explanation is a  
bit misleading in documentation
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2435

From Nick Payne:

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.
