CTAN has a new package: anyfontsize

03 Feb '07

A new package has been put on tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your favorite mirror. Thanks again, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ........................................................................ The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: anyfontsize Author's name: Péter Szabó Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/anyfontsize Summary description: select any font size in LaTeX License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/anyfontsize . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/cgi-bin/ctanPackageInformation.py?id=anyfontsize (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear).
