-<h3>Other &#8220;document font&#8221; sizes?</h3>
-<p/>The LaTeX standard classes have a concept of a (base) &#8220;document
-font&#8221; size; this size is the basis on which other font sizes (those
-from <code>\</code><code>tiny</code> to <code>\</code><code>Huge</code>) are determined. The classes are designed
-on the assumption that they won&#8217;t be used with sizes other than the
-set that LaTeX offers by default (10&#8211;12pt), but people regularly
-find they need other sizes. The proper response to such a requirement
-is to produce a new design for the document, but many people don&#8217;t
-fancy doing that.
-<p/>A simple solution is to use the <i>extsizes</i> bundle. This
-bundle offers &#8220;extended&#8221; versions of the article, report, book and
-letter classes, at sizes of 8, 9, 14, 17 and 20pt as well as the
-standard 10&#8211;12pt. Since little has been done to these classes other
-than to adjust font sizes and things directly related to them, they
-may not be optimal &#8212; but they&#8217;re certainly practical.
-<p/>More satisfactory are the <em>KOMA-script</em> classes, which are
-designed to work properly with the class option files that come with
-<i>extsizes</i>, and the <i>memoir</i> class that has its own
-options for document font sizes 9pt&#8211;12pt, 14pt, 17pt, 20pt, 25pt,
-30pt, 36pt, 48pt and 60pt.
-<p/>Many classes, designed to produce typeset results other than on
-&#8220;ordinary&#8221; paper, will have their own font size mechanisms and
-ranges of sizes. This is true, for example, of
-<a href="FAQ-poster.html">poster classes</a> (such as <i>a0poster</i>), and of
-<a href="FAQ-slidecls.html">presentation and lecturing classes</a> (such as
-<i>beamer</i>.
