@doncherry: scrextend tries to use font size files for every wanted font size. I've already explained how to use the font size file scrsize12pt.clo to write such a file scrsize12bp.clo (see my comment to Thorsten). If is does not find a font size file, is it able to calculate all font size depending sizes from internally 10pt template. The result should be acceptable but maybe is not optimal (but at least as good as the results of Word). To tell you, that the calculation instead of a file has been used, you get the warning.

With your MWE, I get a warning Package scrextend Warning: Using fallback calculation to setup font sizes for basic size 12bp' on input line 12.` -- what's that telling me?

@Schweinebacke Ah, that's a good point. I didn't think of DIV. Thank you for pointing this out.

@Thorsten: 1in = 72bp = 72,27pt. So a pt is smaller than a bp, but: With a4paper there's a DIV default for 12pt but not for 12bp. So DIV=calc will be used with 12bp. If I try a document with DIV=9 and \lipsum[1-100] almost nothing changes if I use fontsize=12bp instead of fontsize=12pt. Additionally remember: There's a file scrsize12pt.clo with optimized (not only horizontal) lengths. KOMA-Script may use an optimized scrsize12bp.clo too, but it does not provide it.

@Schweinebacke I'm a little bit confused there. I always used KOMA-Script with pt. I tried using fontsize=12bp and got less pages than with fontsize=12pt. Should't it be opposite according to @Werner's answer?

@doncherry: It changes all font commands (and several lengths), e.g., \huge, \LARGE, \Large relative to 12bp/10bp. Example: At 10pt (predefined font size at article) \LARGE is \@xviipt, that is 17.28pt. With scrextend and fontsize=12bp it will be 17.28pt*12bp/10pt = 17,28*1,2bp=20.736bp=20.8137pt (try \LARGE\csname f@size\endcsname to see this). Alternative: You may define your own font size file scrsize12bp.clo. In this case this file will be used instead of calculated sizes by scrextend. Use scrsize12pt.clo as template and simply change all lengths from pt to bp.

| Nov 8, 2011 at 9:04 | comment | added | doncherry | Does this change e.g. the title font size to 17bp? (To be precise, it's 17.28pt/bp, cf. egreg's comment to the question.) | |
