I can confirm that this is a font name. I actually saw it once. It was a
very small font of fixed size that a designer used in a footer. But that
was done in a graphic.

Technically it should indeed have quotes around it, but in this case
it's moot because hardly anyone's going to have that font anyway!

It actually looks like a mistake. :-) The only properties permitted
after the font size is the line height, only if there is a slash
between the two, then font families. Probably this defines a font
family named "standard 07_55", but they forgot to add the obligatory
quotation marks around it. Looks like a unix-style bitmap font name,
to me.
