[comp.text.tex] LaTex font selection

kirkaas@oahu.cs.ucla.edu (paul kirkaas) (07/19/90)

Purely out of curiosity --- why is it that that when you want to print
11 point characters, TeX uses 11 point fonts and LaTex uses 10 point 
fonts magnified to 11 point size?  It seems to defeat the whole theory of 
the various font size definitions.

Signed ---
Puzzled.
