texsun scales fonts by integral ``shrinks''. This is equiv. to scaling
by 500, 333, 250, 125, etc.

If your document asks for cmr10.300pk, it'll display this font in a
variety of different sizes for you (the shrinks). What it won't do
is scaled cmr10.600 down when you need cmr10.300 & don't have it.

I notice that the version of texsun with the TeX distribution is waaaay out
of date. Shortly, I'll post the location of an updated TeXsun that also
handles the sun-386i, once my erstwhile beta-tester reports back.
