I believe the trick used is the (lack of) letter postscript operator.
When you say letter (and all letters have large margins) then you can set
aside more VM for fonts since the bits for the margin area are free.

If you DON'T use letter then you get a full imageable page.

On a linotronic the letter operator has a real negative impact if you are
running 12" paper in that it orients the page the other way so instead of
using 8.5 inches your page takes 11 inches!
