Also, it seems that what is called "size" in the doc of both `font-info' and
`describe-font' would be better called "width".
From `font-info':
"SIZE is the maximum bound width of the font"
^^^^^
`describe-font', in particular, should use "width":
full name:
-outline-Lucida Console-normal-r-normal-normal-14-105-96-96-c-*-iso8859-1
size: 8
height: 14
baseline-offset: 0
relative-compose: 0
Also, why isn't command `describe-font' mentioned in the Emacs manual? That
would be a good place to mention it and explain what each of its components
means.
