153+ The 'size-adjust' descriptor defines a multiplier
154+ for glyph outlines and metrics associated with this font,
155+ to allow the author to harmonize the designs of various fonts
156+ when rendered at the same 'font-size' .
157+
158+ All metrics associated with this font--
159+ including glyph advances, baseline tables, and overrides provided by ''@font-face'' descriptors--
160+ are scaled by the given percentage,
161+ as are the rendered glyph images.
162+ Consequently,
163+ any units derived from font metrics (such as ''ex'' and ''ch'' )
164+ are also affected when sourced from this font.
165+ However, the [=computed value|computed=] 'font-size'
166+ (and thus any units such as ''em'' that derive from it)
167+ remains unaffected.
168+
169+ Note: The 'size-adjust' descriptor functions similarly to
170+ the 'font-size-adjust' property,
171+ which essentially calculates an adjustment per font by matching ex heights,
172+ but likewise does not affect the [=computed value|computed=] 'font-size' .
