H. Peter Anvin ceabd83dcf doc: fix fonts where the scale (unitsPerEm) is not 1000
AFM metrics always have 1000 font units to a scaled PostScript point,
but TTF/OTF doesn't have to.  The easiest way (and the one which
best avoids unnecessary rounding) is to store the scale in the
metrics, and change pswidth.ph to return the width in PostScript
points instead of font units.
