+%D \macros
+%D   {normalizefontheight,normalizefontwidth,normalizedfontsize}
+%D
+%D Next we introduce some font manipulation macros. When we
+%D want to typeset some text spread in a well defined area, it
+%D can be considered bad practice to manipulate character and
+%D word spacing. In such situations the next few macros can be
+%D of help:
+%D
+%D \starttyping
+%D \normalizefontheight \name {sample text} {height} {font}
+%D \normalizefontwidth  \name {sample text} {width}  {font}
+%D \stoptyping
+%D
+%D Consider for instance:
+%D
+%D \startbuffer[a]
+%D \NormalizeFontHeight \TempFont {X} {2\baselineskip} {Serif}
+%D \stopbuffer
+%D
+%D \startbuffer[b]
+%D \ruledhbox{\TempFont To Be Or Not To Be}
+%D \stopbuffer
+%D
+%D \typebuffer[a,b] \getbuffer[a]
+%D
+%D This shows up as:
+%D
+%D \startlinecorrection
+%D \ruledhbox{\getbuffer[b]}
+%D \stoplinecorrection
+%D
+%D The horizontal counterpart is:
+%D
+%D \startbuffer[a]
+%D \NormalizeFontWidth \TempFont {This Line Fits} {\hsize} {Serif}
+%D \stopbuffer
+%D
+%D \startbuffer[b]
+%D \ruledhbox{\TempFont This Line Fits}
+%D \stopbuffer
+%D
+%D \typebuffer[a,b] \getbuffer[a]
+%D
+%D This gives:
+%D
+%D \startlinecorrection
+%D \ruledhbox{\getbuffer[b]}
+%D \stoplinecorrection
+%D
+%D The calculated font scale is avaliable in \type {\normalizedfontsize}.
