Our DITroff to PostScript converter uses the braceex character to
extend brackets, parentheses, and braces over large vertical spaces.
For some reason, this causes problems at points sizes other than 12
for the brackets. At the bottom of this message, I've included a
small PostScript program that shows the problem. The strangest part
is that at 24 points, the characters appear to be aligned properly,
but that the width of the braceex character is not the same as the
others. Any ideas for getting around this problem would be greatly
appreciated.
