Loadig of the maccro package bcentaur.sty, i.e

  \usepackage{bcentaur}
  
make LaTeX use Venetian301 as the default roman font family.
These fonts are much smaller than others, when used at the
same nominal size, so the package supports optional scaling.
Specifying the package option [scaled=...] will enlarge the
size of the font by the given scale.  E.g., to enlarge the
fonts by 10%:

  \usepackage[scaled=1.1]{bcentaur}
  
Specifying only the keyword "scaled", i.e.,

  \usepackage[scaled]{bcentaur}
  
selects a default scale of 1.09, which seems to be 
appropriate in many cases.
