For offset code CW seems fine. My problem involves imbedding
CW inline. E.g.

.TS
tab(#);
l0w(.1i) l0w(.1i) lw(.1i) l .
\&...#/##Message store root.
#/1##A message in the root folder.
#/2##\f2Ibid.\fP
#/stuff#/#Subfolder \f(CW\s-1stuff\s0\fP under the root folder.
#/stuff#/!index#The metadata cache for the subfolder \f(CW\s-1stuff\s0\fP.
#/stuff#/29#A message in subfolder \f(CW\s-1stuff\s0\fP.
#/stuff#/42#\0\0\0... and another.
#/stuff#/more/...#Subfolder \f(CW\s-1stuff/more\s0\fP.
.TE

Without the \s-1 CW is way out of whack proportionally, due to its
large x-height. Shrinking by a point (as above) still looks out of whack,
but it's less likely to make me barf.

Fractional point size changes would be nice, but what I really want
here is the ability to add a global scaling factor to a specific font
(position).
