CTAN update: fontscale - ctan-ann

5 Apr 2025


      Oliver Beery submitted an update to the
fontscale
package.
Version:  4.1.0 2025-04-04
License:  lppl1.3c
Summary description:  A flexible interface for setting font sizes
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
### Added
 - New keys:
   - `typographic-scale/classic-10bp`
   - `typographic-scale/classic-11bp`
   - `typographic-scale/classic-12bp`
   - `typographic-scale/classic-10dd`
   - `typographic-scale/classic-11dd`
   - `typographic-scale/classic-12dd`
   - `typographic-scale/classic-10nd`
   - `typographic-scale/classic-11nd`
   - `typographic-scale/classic-12nd`
   - `classic-10bp`
   - `classic-11bp`
   - `classic-12bp`
   - `classic-10dd`
   - `classic-11dd`
   - `classic-12dd`
   - `classic-10nd`
   - `classic-11nd`
   - `classic-12nd`
   - `<font size command>/baselineskip-size-ratio`
 - `\currentnormalsize`
### Changed
 - Improved performance in the package code added to the
   `selectfont` hook.
 - The documentation now states that `fontscale` does not load
   any other packages.
 - The documentation now states that `\currentfontstep`,
   `\currentfontscale`, and `\currentfontsize` do not expand
   `\f@size`.
### Fixed
 - The documentation now correctly states that the classic
   typographic scale includes font size `30`. (`30` was not
   included in some older versions of The Elements of Typographic
   Style by Robert Bringhurst.)
 - The package now correctly uses `\dim_use:N` and `\skip_use:N`
   when using `expl3` `dim` and `skip` variables in `LaTeX2e` commands.
 - Removed incorrect code comment regarding compatibility with
   the `microtype` package.
 - The internal commands that store the value of the keys
   `<font size command>/scale`, `<font size command>/size`,
   and `<font size command>/baselineskip` now correctly store
   the value of the evaluated floating point/dimen/skip expression.
   This should result in more consistent behavior if
   `\fontscalesetup` is used again.
