In case anyone never noticed,

Judging by the behavior of DWB 3.3 troff, this is incorrect in two
respects.

1.  The maximum type size is determined by the "sizes" directive in the
    output device's "DESC" file, and is not fixed at "36"; that's a
    C/A/T-ism.

2.  The "next larger valid size" is not selected; instead, the requested
    size is rounded to the nearest valid one, with ties rounding down.

Branden
