The extended horizontal size is the only goal here. The dimensions for a sinoform is still related to pt size, so the relative spacing, compared to chr(32), at the same pt size, is reasonably larger.
But...the vertical dimensions don't scale so well, at least in my browser. It causes a slight downward shift.
