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’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. -<dl> -<dt><tt><i>fix-cm.sty</i></tt><dd>Distributed as part of <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/base.zip">macros/latex/base</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/base/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/fix-cm.html">catalogue entry</a> (an unpacked - version is available at <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/unpacked/fix-cm.sty">macros/latex/unpacked/fix-cm.sty</a>; <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org//help/Catalogue/entries/fix-cm.html">catalogue entry</a>) -<dt><tt><i>type1cm.sty</i></tt><dd><a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/type1cm.zip">macros/latex/contrib/type1cm</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/type1cm/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/type1cm.html">catalogue entry</a> -<dt><tt><i>type1ec.sty</i></tt><dd><a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/fonts/ps-type1/cm-super/type1ec.sty">fonts/ps-type1/cm-super/type1ec.sty</a>; <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org//help/Catalogue/entries/type1ec.html">catalogue entry</a> (the package is actually part of - the <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/fonts/ps-type1/cm-super.zip">fonts/ps-type1/cm-super</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/fonts/ps-type1/cm-super/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/cm-super.html">catalogue entry</a> distribution, but it works happily in - the absence of the scaled fonts) -</dl> -<p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=fontsize">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=fontsize</a> -</body> |
