Thanks, after days of trying to work around the problem I have an answer.
Do any of you notice that as a non-root user, when running unix2dos dos2unix file file vs file > fileA, the ownership is changed to root on "file" but not on fileA.
I thought it odd that the command would change the ownership on the modified file "file". The work around was to redirect to anther file all together hence file $0 file > fileA.

mdbfontsize
mdbFontSize(5) The m17n Library mdbFontSize(5)
NAME
mdbFontSize - Font Size
DESCRIPTION
In some case, a font contains incorrect information about its size (typically in the case of a hacked TrueType font), which results in a
bad text layout when such a font is used in combination with the other fonts. To overcome this problem, the m17n library loads information
about font-size adjustment from the m17n database by the tags <font, resize>. The data is loaded as a plist of this format.
FONT-SIZE-ADJUSTMENT ::= PER-FONT *
PER-FONT ::= '(' FONT-SPEC ADJUST-RATIO ')'
FONT-SPEC ::=
'(' [ FOUNDRY FAMILY
[ WEIGHT [ STYLE [ STRETCH [ ADSTYLE ]]]]]
REGISTRY ')'
ADJUST-RATIO ::= INTEGER
FONT-SPEC is to specify properties of a font. FOUNDRY to REGISTRY are symbols corresponding to Mfoundry to Mregistry property of a font.
See m17nFont for the meaning of each property.
ADJUST-RATIO is an integer number specifying by percentage how much the font-size must be adjusted. For instance, this PER-FONT:
((devanagari-cdac) 150)
instructs the font handler of the m17n library to open a font of 1.5 times bigger than a requested size on opening a font whose registry is
'devanagari-cdac'.
