Summary description: A flexible interface for setting font sizes
Announcement text:
### Added - New keys: - `typographic-scale/classic-10bp` - `typographic-scale/classic-11bp` - `typographic-scale/classic-12bp` - `typographic-scale/classic-10dd` - `typographic-scale/classic-11dd` - `typographic-scale/classic-12dd` - `typographic-scale/classic-10nd` - `typographic-scale/classic-11nd` - `typographic-scale/classic-12nd` - `classic-10bp` - `classic-11bp` - `classic-12bp` - `classic-10dd` - `classic-11dd` - `classic-12dd` - `classic-10nd` - `classic-11nd` - `classic-12nd` - `<font size command>/baselineskip-size-ratio` - `\currentnormalsize` ### Changed - Improved performance in the package code added to the `selectfont` hook. - The documentation now states that `fontscale` does not load any other packages. - The documentation now states that `\currentfontstep`, `\currentfontscale`, and `\currentfontsize` do not expand `\f@size`. ### Fixed - The documentation now correctly states that the classic typographic scale includes font size `30`. (`30` was not included in some older versions of The Elements of Typographic Style by Robert Bringhurst.) - The package now correctly uses `\dim_use:N` and `\skip_use:N` when using `expl3` `dim` and `skip` variables in `LaTeX2e` commands. - Removed incorrect code comment regarding compatibility with the `microtype` package. - The internal commands that store the value of the keys `<font size command>/scale`, `<font size command>/size`, and `<font size command>/baselineskip` now correctly store the value of the evaluated floating point/dimen/skip expression. This should result in more consistent behavior if `\fontscalesetup` is used again.
