@cindex font size scaling
-Internally, the @code{fontSize} context property will cause the
-@code{font-size} property to be set in all layout objects. The
-value of @code{font-size} is a number indicating the size relative
-to the standard size for the current staff height. Each step up
-is an increase of approximately 12% of the font size. Six steps
-is exactly a factor two. The Scheme function @code{magstep}
-converts a @code{font-size} number to a scaling factor. The
-@code{font-size} property can also be set directly, so that only
-certain layout objects are affected.
