CTAN Update: anyfontsize package update for LaTeX
by CTAN Announcements 23 Nov '07

23 Nov '07

On Thu, 22 Nov 2007 at 13:09 +0100, Péter Szabó submitted a bugfix to the anyfontsize package. The package allows the to user select any font size (via e.g. <tt>fontsize{...}{...}selectfont</tt>), even those sizes that are not listed in the .fd file. If such a size is requested, LaTeX will search for and select the nearest listed size; anyfontsize will then scale the font to the size actually requested. Similar functionality is available for the CM family, for the EC family, or for either computer modern encoding the present package generalises the facility.
