[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

My entry point is Info and sometime I think Info needs to be updated.
For example, I could not notice existence of line-pixel-height for a long time.
So having it in Info is very useful.  Thus I want to send a patch for display.texi
to infer line-pixel-height.

However, at the same time, I wonder if sending this kind of patch is really useful.

Thanks, I used a slightly different wording and added it in a
different node.  Pushed to the emacs-25 branch.

Why not?

Writing documentation is not that appreciated in my daily
circumstance.  Thus I was not sure the revision of a few lines is
regarded as `useful'.  Now I know!
