Anyone tried this or something like this in NeWS ?


/Times-Roman findfont 
150 scalefont setfont	% scale is not standard available, but I don't know if
			% that has anything got to do with it
100 100 moveto		% just for convenience
(A) show		% gives you a 72 points "A"
1 rotate		% you could also do "-1 -1 scale" but not "2 2 scale"
(A) show		% gives you the 150 points "A" you actually wanted

Am I just an inexperienced NeWs-clown or is something really wrong here ?
