My thanks and my apologies. I sincerely 
appreciate that exposition, but I should've been 
more specific, too, it seems.

I knew about multiplication factors and when 
testing, I've set all of those to 1.0, and I've 
expressed all sizes (as appropriate) in metric 
units. E.g. line width 50mm as 72.0/25.4*50.

Then I've output the resulting PS and/or PDF to 
screen and measured things with a ruler. Also 
checked in the resulting PS and uncompressed PDF 
to see sizes of things as expressed in points, 
however much of that I could understand.

Thing is, all scalable terminals seem to do 
their own thing with sizes. With 
`postscript+eps` we at least know something 
*determinate* in advance. With other ones, nope.

Posting this, I'm sort of hoping developers 
would give the matter a look, if possible.

Somehow I've imagined that format to be 
hardcoded in tex terminals. Nice.

Thank you. Also, see the 1st paragraph of this 
reply. Thank you, regardless.
