PostScript fonts (*.pfa) and TrueType/OpenType fonts
(*.ttf *.otf) scale smoothly.  They are not limited to
integer values of the font size.  If you scale them
too far up or down from their original size the proportions
are non-ideal (too heavy, too light, too thick, ...) but
that is a separate concern.
