fontsize
After gaining some insight from What point (pt) font size are \Large etc.?, now I want to change my font size values according to my preference.
As a follow up from the linked question, how can I set
\Large = 13pt
\LARGE = 15pt ?
In the linked question it's \Large = 14.4pt and \LARGE = 17.28pt.
Have a look at the relsize package. Package description:
The basic command of the package is
\relsize, whose argument is a number of\magsteps to change size; from this are defined commands\larger,\smaller,\textlarger, etc.
You can do a similar thing by putting the \thefontsize command inside the argument of the sectioning command. In this case the command doesn't need to take an argument. (If you want to use the same command as in your code above, just type \thefontsize{} instead.
\documentclass{book}
\makeatletter
\newcommand\thefontsize{The current font size is: \f@size pt}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\chapter{\thefontsize}
\section{\thefontsize}
\subsection{\thefontsize}
\subsubsection{\thefontsize}
\end{document}

The size for article.cls with option 11pt are declared in
size11.clo. You can copy the definitions and change them. E.g. the original\Largeis setup like this:So use in your preamble (or a local sty).
The 18 is the baselineskip (in pt). Adjust it to the value you want to use.
