I am writing my Ph.D. thesis with svmono
class of Springer-Verlag, but the default size is 10pt
and seems to me too difficult to read. I would like to change to 11pt
or 12pt
. This two option are blocked, so for first i have commented the two line
%\DeclareOption{11pt}{\OptionNotUsed}
%\DeclareOption{12pt}{\OptionNotUsed}
but seems that this is not sufficient. What i have to do? Here is the
class definition

You can change the two line after the one you mentioned:
Replace the "10pt". But don't change the original class but save the file under a new name.
Edit: svmono not only loads article.cls but also change some font sizes later on. Search the line
and correct the definitions which follows. You can use the values used in size12.clo as template/inspiration.
Btw: This is a very special class. Why are you using it instead of a class e.g. from the KOMA bundle or memoir?
