+.SH NAME
+mag \- computes fontsizes and magsteps
+.SH SYNOPSIS

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.EQ
+delim $$
+.EN
+This tool calculates fontsizes given magsteps. TeXfonts are provided as
+true sized fonts or as magnifications. The fontsize of a true sized
+font equals the resolution of the printer (ex. 300). The fontsize
+of a font magnified $n$ \fImagsteps\fP equals:
+.EQ
+1.2 sup{n} times 300
+delim off
+.EN
+rounded to its nearest integer value. Fontnames for TeX fonts normally
+consists of the name (\fIcmr\fP), pointsize (\fI10\fP), type (\fIpk\fP)
+and fontsize (\fI360\fP), for example: \fIcmr10.360pk\fP.
+
+.SH EXAMPLES
+The result of \fImag -R240 -2 0 0.5 1\fP will be:
+.EX
+167 240 263 288
+.EE
+
+The inverse function is computed with the \fI-r\fP option. The result of
+\fImag -r -R240 167 240 263 288\fP
+will be the fontsteps:
+.EX
+-2 0 0.5 1
+.EE
+
+The UNIX shells allow command substitution. One can write:
+.EX
+mag -r -R240 `mag -R240 -2 0 0.5 1`
