I hope you don't mind me cc'ing back to the list.  I am also cc'ing the 
maintainer's list in a hope to generate some discussion.

I noticed that I can use the -F:SIZE option with the print command to 
help with the relative font to figure size.  However, it would still be 
nice to specify the figure size itself since some publishers can be 
picky about this.
