I don't think the units need clarification, really -- I think all the
width/height things when talking about faces would naturally be assumed
to be pixels.
But I have no idea what a negative `line-width' would mean, and that
needs documentation. I've skimmed the C code that deals with
`line-width', but it's still rather obscure to me.
Could someone who knows what a negative `line-width' in :box means
document this in the manual?
