current fontsize in both marks

current fontsize in both marks

[Peter Rolf]

Hi,

for my overprinting macro I need the actual font size (no overprinting 
if size is greater 23pt). After searching and a lot of tries I found

\scaledfont (mkii)   and
\somefontsize (mkiv),

which seem to show the right values. Both macros are bound exclusively 
to only one mark. Is there a better (more generic and mark independent) way?

we can add

\def\somefontsize{\scaledfont}

to mkii

is there more?

(i'm not going to retrofit all 'improvements' from mkiv to mkii; for 
instance there are couple of speedups in mkiv helpers)

sounds good.

no.

also i'm not far away from the point, where i finally skip mkii (too 
time-consuming to maintain both marks). currently mkii support is only a 
fallback in case of luatex problems (which i probably don't need anymore).

thanks Hans!
