<para>
<parameter>size</parameter> is expressed in pixels.
</para>
<para>
<parameter>space</parameter> allows you to change the default
value of a space in a font. This amount is added to the normal
value and can also be negative.
</para>
<para>
<parameter>tightness</parameter> allows you to control the amount
of white space between characters. This amount is added to the
normal character width and can also be negative.
</para>
<para>
<parameter>angle</parameter> is in degrees.
</para>
<para>
Parameters <parameter>space</parameter> and
<parameter>tightness</parameter> are expressed in character space
units, where 1 unit is 1/1000th of an em-square.
</para>
<para>
Parameters <parameter>space</parameter>,
<parameter>tightness</parameter>, and <parameter>angle</parameter>
are optional.
</para>
<para>
The bounding box is calculated using information available from
character metrics, and unfortunately tends to differ slightly
from the results achieved by actually rasterizing the text. If
the angle is 0 degrees, you can expect the text to need 1 pixel
more to every direction.
