Fonts & Character Sets ⇒ Unable to get HUGE font for memoir

[celafon]

I have tried to use a font above 25pt which memman says I should be able to do with extrafontsizes swith.

However it looks that it wont work:

I use:
\documentclass[12pt, a4paper, oneside, extrafontsizes]{memoir}

And see:
LaTeX Warning: Unused global option(s):
[extrafontsizes].


And the font stays the same...

I have looked all over the Internet, but there's nothing I can find... Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

edit (1): changed the upper limit as really specified in the memman

edit (2): OK, looks that there's no extrafontsizes option in my version of memoir.cls... that would explain this. I am using Ubuntu 8.10 (texlive). I wonder why the package is so old... Anyways - I know why that did not work.

Hi,

If you installed TeX through synaptic or so, I recommend you to remove the installation and download the TeX Live 2008 distribution. That way you'll have up-to-date packages always.

Thanks a bunch for a hint! I was just looking around to get a more up to date Linux Latex distribution.
