Thanks. Must sit down and read it soon, rather than dipping in to try to
find what I need. Won't make that mistake again, anyway!

The user error was actually in the quoting in my email: I'd tried both
#'1.5 and #1.5 and neither had worked. Thanks to those who pointed out
the requirement for white space between the font size specification and
the curly brace: #'1.5 } and #1.5 } both work. #1.5} doesn't work, and
I'd not picked this up from the documentation since I tend to put
commands of this sort on a single line, which the documentation doesn't.
There's a big warning about this right at the beginning of the Learning
Manual. Section 1.1.1 "Entering input" says "... braces should also be
surrounded by a space unless they are at the beginning or end of a line to
avoid ambiguities."
