%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.19.81"

#(set-global-staff-size 20)
\book {
  \bookOutputName "test1"
  \header { title = \markup \abs-fontsize #20 "abs-fontsize 20" }
  { c''1 }
}

#(set-global-staff-size 16)
\book {
  \bookOutputName "test2"
  \header { title = \markup \abs-fontsize #20 "abs-fontsize 20" }
  { c''1 }
}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

In "test2" above the title letters are the correct size, but are
horizontally squashed together by a factor of 16/20.
