Please read the manual pages about fonts and xfig.  xfig only has available
to it the fonts that the X server provides.  Sometimes it will have to pick
one that is only CLOSE to the size you choose.  However, when you print the
figure (at least on a Postscript printer) it will give you the "real" size.

Thus, hand positioning for superscripts, etc., is problematic.
