Summary description: select any font size in LaTeX
License type: lppl
Announcement text:

[View More]-------------------------------------------------------
anyfontsize is a LaTeX2e package that lets the user select any
font size (via e.g. fontsize{...}{...}selectfont), even those sizes
that are not listed in the .fd file. If such a size is requested, LaTeX
will search the nearest listed size, and anyfontsize will scale that
font to the requested size. For a similar functionality that works only
for the CM fonts, try the type1cm.sty package, or, even better, use
the new Latin Modern (LM) fonts, which are available at any size.
