These are the commonest sizes used in publishing. +However, for certain applications there may be a need for other sizes. +The extsizes classes (extarticle, extreport, extbook, extletter, and +extproc) provide support for sizes eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, +fourteen, seventeen and twenty points. + +The extsizes classes and class options were first written by Wolfgang +May, by adapting the standard Latex classes. James Kilfiger +made some modifications and rewrote the size options. + +Should you be using extsizes? +Don't use extsizes just because you think its cool, or because you think +the font looks too small on the screen. You should have a clear reason +why 10,11 or 12pt text is not suitable for you. Also the extsizes +package is not suitable for creating oversize pages for scaling by a +printer or photocopier, this can be done with the the geometry package +and the mag option (another of my hacks I'm afraid). Good reasons for +using the extsizes package might include conforming to requirements set +by an examining institution, or making a large print copy for use by the +partially sighted. + +How to install extsizes. +You should place all the files in `a place where Tex can find them'. +Examples of where Tex looks for files include the .../texmf/tex/latex +directory tree, a local texmf tree, anywhere specified in a TEXINPUTS +environment variable or the same directory as your Latex documents. +You should then refresh the file name database. This is done with a +command `texhash' on tetex distributions and from the start menu with +miktex. For other distributions of tex read the manual to see if this +step is required. + +How to use extsizes. +Your documentclass command should look like: + \documentclass[14pt]{extreport} +or + \documentclass[9pt]{extarticle} +The sizes available are 8pt, 9pt, 10pt, 11pt, 12pt, 14pt, 17pt, and 20pt. +There should be no need to change any other part of your document. + +There is also a package, extsizes.sty, which can be used with +nonstandard document classes. But it cannot be guaranteed to work with +any give class. Don't use it at the same time as one of the extsizes +classes. It takes as package options 8pt--20pt. This comes from an idea +of Hans Steffani. + +Compatibility mode broken. +You cannot use these classes in `compatibility mode', nor can they be +used with latex 2.09. Therefore \documentstyle[20pt]{extarticle} won't +work. Compatibility mode should not be used for new documents. + +Bad line breaking. +If you are using 20pt text Tex will probably have difficulty finding +good line breaks, so you will get warnings about overfull hboxes. +If this is distracting you may put \sloppy in the preamble of your +document, but it is better to try to help Tex to find good line breaks +by inserting \- or rewriting short sections. + +Warnings about Font substitutions. +The large class options use some very large fonts. Up to about 50pt for +the 20pt class options. You may find this causes problems with with +if these fonts are not declared to be available by a \DeclareFontShape +command.
