Summary description: select any font size in LaTeX
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
anyfontsize is a LaTeX2e package that lets the user select any font size (via e.g. \fontsize{...}{...}\selectfont), even those sizes that are not listed in the .fd file. If such a size is requested, LaTeX will search the nearest listed size, and anyfontsize will scale that font to the requested size. For a similar functionality that works only for the CM fonts, try the type1cm.sty package, or, even better, use the new Latin Modern (LM) fonts, which are available at any size.
This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/anyfontsize . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/cgi-bin/ctanPackageInformation.py?id=anyfontsize (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear).

anyfontsize – Select any font size in LaTeX
The package allows the to user select any font size (via e.g. \fontsize{...}{...}\selectfont), even those sizes that are not listed in the .fd file. If such a size is requested, LaTeX will search for and select the nearest listed size; anyfontsize will then scale the font to the size actually requested.
Similar functionality is available for the CM family, for the EC family, or for either computer modern encoding; the present package generalises the facility.
