[comp.text.tex] Wanted: a 14pt style file for books.

vic@cs.arizona.edu (Vicraj T. Thomas) (06/04/91)

Background:

I am in the process of typesetting a book using LaTeX.  The publisher wants the
book to be typeset using a 14pt font.  Our site does not have a style file for
anything larger than 12pt.  I searched a couple of the archives but could not
find a 14pt style for books.

Questions:

1. Where can I get a 14pt book style?  If I am unable to get one, is there
anything reasonably easy I can do to get a 14pt document?  (I don't think
making my own book14.sty would be considered "reasonanbly easy" -- or is it
easier than I think it is?)

2. If the publisher insists on me using Times instead of cmr, can I just
redefine \rm, \sl, etc. in the preamble of my document (or in a style file) to
use the Times family of fonts?

Please MAIL me any suggestions you might have.  Thanks very much in advance --
any help would be greatly appreciated.

< Vic
