-<h3>Fonts at arbitrary sizes</h3>
-<p/>Almost all fonts, nowadays, are provided with LaTeX control
-(<code>.fd</code>) files, so the temptation to risk the
-<a href="FAQ-newfontstar.html">problems of <code>\</code><code>newfont</code></a> is usually easy to
-resist.
-<p/>However, one temptation remains, arising from the way that LaTeX
-restricts the sizes of fonts. In fact, the restriction only
-significantly applies to the default (Computer Modern) and the
-Cork-encoded (T1) EC fonts, but it is widely considered to be
-anomalous, nowadays. In recognition of this problem, there is a
-package <i>fix-cm</i> which will allow you to use the fonts, within
-LaTeX, at any size you choose. If you&#8217;re not using scaleable
-versions of the fonts, most modern distributions will just generate an
-appropriate bitmap for you.
-<p/>So, suppose you want to use Computer Modern Roman at 30 points, you
-might be tempted to write:
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-\newfont{\bigfont}{cmr10 at 30pt}
-\begin{center}
- \bigfont Huge text
-\end{center}
-</pre>
-</blockquote><p>
-which will indeed work, but will actually produce a worse result than
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-\usepackage{fix-cm}
-...
-\begin{center}
- \fontsize{30}{36}\selectfont
- Huge text
-\end{center}
-</pre>
-</blockquote><p>
-Note that the <i>fix-cm</i> package was not distributed until the
-December 2003 edition of LaTeX; if you have an older distribution,
-the packages <i>type1cm</i> (for CM fonts) and
-<i>type1ec</i> (for EC fonts) are available.
