i wanted to keep the source code short, there is some problem in setting the
minimum. the maximum, how font must change when change hight and/or width of
face...

i'm open to any suggestion, perhaps a better name wold be delta-size or only
size, i have no idea about another method, perhaps the user could define the
functions by itself, but it must respect the argument orders, like happen in
others language for hook functions

resize-dump is in a separate file, only a debug helper
For the other names, can be, but it seems to me that the standard rebol code
does not use too much this style of naming and, to be honest, i do not like to
fill my code of paths.
Thanks for your suggestions.
