So I think I understand this now:
Although <SomeFont> and <SomeFont sa 1> denote the same font and size, the body font size and magnifications like x, xx, small, and big are generated as functions of the scale factor. So if
the scale factor like <sa 1> is not present, then the scaling does not get done, and so \tfx etc. and [myfont, 12pt] don't do any scaling. But \tfa, \tfb, etc still work because these are explicitly
defined in terms of \magstep which will scale <SomeFont> even without the <sa 1>.
Am I understanding this correctly? I will probably mention this in an upcoming font how-to.
Thnx again.
Best wishes
Idris
