Oliver Beery submitted an update to the

fontscale

package.

Version number: 3.0.5 2025-01-03
License type: lppl1.3c

Summary description: A flexible interface for setting font sizes

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

## [v3.0.5] - 2025-01-03

### Changed
- Clarified some package functionalities in the documentation:
- The new font baselineskip set by `\ScaleFont` has no stretch and shrink components.
- `\ScaleFont` is intended as a more robust alternative to `\scalefont` from the `scalefnt` package.
- `\SetFontSizeBaselineskip` is intended as a more robust alternative to `\fontsize` + `\selectfont`.
- `\PrintAllFontSizeParameters`, `\PrintSampleText`, and `\PrintFontSizeCommand` cannot be used in math mode.
- Code improvements:
- The package messages are now defined first.
- The package now regularly uses `\dim_to_fp:n` when handling dimensions within floating point expressions.
