Thank you for the information about the Adobe Open Type size designations
and their point size equivalents.
Now I know that that relationship, which depends on the font design, can
be accessed using the utilities LCDF Typetools by Eddie Kohler (his
webpage http://www.lcdf.org/type/index.html), in particular the program
'otfinfo'. I've downloaded the Windows binaries
'bin-lcdftypetools-2.3-win32-static.zip' at
ftp://ftp.dante.de/pub/fptex/standalone/
and it works. For Cronos Pro Opticals the size designations mean
Caption: design size 8pt, range 6-8
Regular: design size 11pt, range 8.1-13.9
Subheading: design size 18pt, range 14-24
Display: design size 72pt, range 24.1-72
