For reasons of their own, the print shop wants text set at 22 pt on letter paper with 1" margins. So after a few runs of \documentclass[22pt,letterpaper]{memoir} and the error "unused global option [22pt]" (with no effect, of course) I found the anyfontsizes package. The documentation reads:
anyfontsize.styis a LaTeX 2ε package that lets the user select any font size (via e. g.\fontsize{...}{...}\selectfont)
So my questions about this package:
-
why are there two size options? What does the second size option refer to if I want a global size of 22 points?
-
Where does the command
\fontsize {with options}go? I tried it after declaring the document class, no go. I tried it after\frontmatter, errors. I tried it after\begin{document}no effect.
Besides using the anyfontsizes package, is there another way that I can scale up the document font size to meet the printer's unusual needs? I understand that Latin Modern has fonts available at all sizes and that not declaring a font caused LaTeX to typeset in LM, but this didn't work either, i.e., \documentclass[letterpaper,22pt]{memoir}.
I know that the KOMA classes are more flexible with respect to font sizes, but there are chapter heading and page styles already typeset under memoir that I'd like to keep.

An alternative would be to use
[11pt]and use the geometry package to specify half size letter paper with half inch margins, and then just print double size. (or post process the pdf to scale it by 2, or use\mag=2000in the tex source.)
