With the two arguments you can define width and
height of a font seperately - if your printer can realize it. The XY
Postscript printer drivers make use of this feature.

[In the postscript font definition the two values are passed separately 
with the variables ?X and ?Y:

fo:NewCenturySchlbk
FO<) s
/NewCenturySchlbk-Roman$ findfont [?X 0 0 ?Y 0 0] m (
  ...
]

With this command you can change the appearance of a
font. SZ=12Pt,10Pt produces a smaller font, with SZ=10Pt,9.8Pt you can
fit text into a line etc.

The corresponding VAriables are:
VA SZ   SiZe of font in use; measurement in actual units (UV,UH)
VA SZ1   Height of font (can be set seperately for PostScript: SZ 12PT,10PT)
VA SZ2   Width of font (can be set separately for PostScript: SZ 10PT,9.8P
