The built-in fonts are bitmap fonts. You can only use the sizes that are
compiled in. Look at the source code for the list.
If you want many sizes, you need to use a scalable font format such as
TrueType or Type1. You will need to use a font library like the FreeType
2, FreeType 1, or T1 font libraries.
If you want just a few known sizes you can get different bitmap fonts in
the sizes you need. You can compile them built-in, or use FNT fonts. Or
you can use a standard font format - I think MW supports PCF & pcf.gz, or
you can access many formats via FreeType 2.
Kind regards,
