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, 14pt and 17pt. +<dl> +<dt><tt><i>extsizes bundle</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/extsizes.zip">macros/latex/contrib/extsizes</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/extsizes.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/extsizes/">browse</a>) +<dt><tt><i>KOMA script bundle</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/koma-script.zip">macros/latex/contrib/koma-script</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/koma-script.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/koma-script/">browse</a>) +<dt><tt><i>memoir.cls</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/memoir.zip">macros/latex/contrib/memoir</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/memoir.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/memoir/">browse</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> |
