I normally use
set terminal postscript enh eps 24
and in some diagrams I use a larger font for
labels, e.g. '{/=32 ...}'. Today I used size 40.
Are these sizes a discrete sequence, 24, 32, 40, ???
or do they come in steps of 1? In other words if I
use 25, do I get slightly large than 25? If they are
a discrete set, what is the sequence?

Probably a crazy idea, but have you tried to use a font size of 29?

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.
