relsize package does not work

[Michael Rudolf]

Hi,

It seems that the relsize package does not function properly when used
in conjunction with the tufte-book and tufte-handout document classes.
However, it works when using the article document class. Here is the
relevant piece from the log file:


(/usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/latex/ltxmisc/relsize.sty
Package: relsize 2003/07/04 ver 3.1

! Undefined control sequence.
<argument> \@xxivpt

l.74 \@tempa\Huge

The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

! Missing number, treated as zero.
<to be read again>
p
l.74 \@tempa\Huge

A number should have been here; I inserted `0'.
(If you can't figure out why I needed to see a number,
look up `weird error' in the index to The TeXbook.)


Package relsize Warning: Failed to get list of font sizes.
(relsize) Falling back to old definition. on input line
81.


Best regards,
Michael

Thanks for reporting this. I've fixed it in svn.

If you look for this line in tufte-common.sty:

\renewcommand\Huge{\@setfontsize\Huge\@xxivpt{36}}

and change it to this:

\renewcommand\Huge{\@setfontsize\Huge{24}{36}}

then relsize should work again. (Well, I've only tested that the
package loads and the documents still compile; I haven't tried the
relsize commands yet.)

Please let me know if you continue to have problems with this.

Thanks!

It works, wonderful!
