Setting the Normal Font Size

Most of Jpgfdraw's TeX/LaTeX related functions (including the |
|) require a value corresponding to `\normalsize` (the LaTeX command that sets the normal font size). As mentioned |
|, a
needs to know the normal font size to determine the appropriate font size declaration. In addition, both the |
| and |
| functions use the value of `\baselineskip` for the normal font size in order to determine the location of the scan lines used to compute the required parameters. This also means that any static or dynamic |
| that use a non-standard paragraph shape also require this information.

The normal font size can be set using the dialog box obtained via the TeX/LaTeX->Settings->Set Normal Size... menu item. Select the required value from the
and select Okay to set it. Note that you must remember to use this value in your document. For example, if you set the normal size as 20, your document will need to use one of the extsizes class files, e.g. `extarticle`, and specify 20
as one of the optional arguments:

    \documentclass[20pt]{extarticle}

Note that the largest normal size available (25pt10.1) is for use with the `a0poster` class file. Remember that for very large or very small fonts, you will need to use scalable fonts in your document otherwise the required size may not be available. Available values, along with the corresponding value of `\baselineskip` and the file in which they are defined, are listed in Table 10.1.

Table 10.1: Available values for the normal font size, the corresponding value and the file in which they are defined (relative to the TEXMF tree).
| Normal size value | `\baselineskip` value | Relevant File |
| 8 | 9.5 | tex/latex/extsizes/size8.clo |
| 9 | 11 | tex/latex/extsizes/size9.clo |
| 10 | 12 | tex/latex/base/size10.clo |
| 11 | 13.6 | tex/latex/base/size11.clo |
| 12 | 14.5 | tex/latex/base/size12.clo |
| 14 | 17 | tex/latex/extsizes/size14.clo |
| 17 | 22 | tex/latex/extsizes/size17.clo |
| 20 | 25 | tex/latex/extsizes/size20.clo |
| 25 | 30 | tex/latex/a0poster/a0poster.sty |

If the check box labelled Update all LaTeX font size declarations in current image is selected, changing the normal size setting will update the LaTeX font size settings for all the
in the current image.

  this value is actually 24.88pt, but Jpgfdraw lists it as 25pt.
