The classes are designed -on the assumption that they won’t be used with sizes other than the -set that LaTeX offers by default (10–12pt), 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’t -fancy doing that. -<p/>A simple solution is to use the <i>extsizes</i> bundle. This -bundle offers “extended” versions of the article, report, book and -letter classes, at sizes of 8, 9, 14, 17 and 20pt as well as the -standard 10–12pt. 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 — but they’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–12pt, 14pt, 17pt, 20pt, 25pt, -30pt, 36pt, 48pt and 60pt. -<p/>Many classes, designed to produce typeset results other than on -“ordinary” 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>. -<dl> -<dt><tt><i>a0poster.cls</i></tt><dd><a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/a0poster.zip">macros/latex/contrib/a0poster</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/a0poster/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/a0poster.html">catalogue entry</a> -<dt><tt><i>beamer.cls</i></tt><dd><a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/beamer.zip">macros/latex/contrib/beamer</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/beamer/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/beamer.html">catalogue entry</a> -<dt><tt><i>extsizes bundle</i></tt><dd><a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/extsizes.zip">macros/latex/contrib/extsizes</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/extsizes/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/extsizes.html">catalogue entry</a> -<dt><tt><i>KOMA script bundle</i></tt><dd><a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/koma-script.zip">macros/latex/contrib/koma-script</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/koma-script/">browse the directory</a>) -<dt><tt><i>memoir.cls</i></tt><dd><a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/memoir.zip">macros/latex/contrib/memoir</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/memoir/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/memoir.html">catalogue entry</a> -</dl> -<p/><p/><p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=extsizes">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=extsizes</a> -</body> |
