Actually, font size changes as you convert from one environment to another. As you no doubt know, fonts are specified in 'point' size, and "point" is a platform-specific non-portable dimension. Coversion offers 2 choices:

1) Keep the point size, reformat the document for different line length / body size.

2) Adjust the point size, keep the line length / body size constant by adjusting the font.
