Re: font-switching oddities

["Thomas A. Schmitz" <thomas.schmitz@uni-bonn.de>]

OK, I solved my immediate problem by adding this in my typescript:

\definebodyfont
[30pt,25pt,20pt,18pt,17.3pt,14.4pt,12pt,11pt,10pt,9pt,8pt,7pt,6pt,5pt, 
4pt]
[rm]
[default]

but is there any simpler means of doing this, is there a keyword like  
"all" to define bodyfonts for every imaginable size?

Thanks

Thomas
