Just for clarity, my problem was not that I couldn't change the value of x and xx.
My problem was that \tfx and \tfxx behave differently than \tfa \tfb etc.
I expected that \tfx and \tfxx change the font size to x and xx size compared to
the default/normal size and not compared to the currently used/environment
font size. According to the reference manual that would be the expected behavior. 
The reference manual [pages 106-107 (108-109 pdf pages)] writes:

"Besides these two-letter commands, there is a series of font selector commands with a
size suffix attached. Some examples of that are:
    \tfx \bfx \slx \itx
    \tfa \tfb \tfc \tfd \tfxx
The a suffix selects a somewhat larger font size than the default. Each of the ordered
alphabetic suffixes a, b, … select a somewhat larger actual font than the previous suffix. The x and xx suffixes select smaller and yet smaller versions. Note that these commands select font sizes relative to the default, not relative to whatever font size is currently in effect."

I don't see how the fixed values for x and xx is related to this.

Best regards,

bcsikos
