| Jul 16, 2012 at 5:48 | comment | added | Thérèse | Very useful. It seems that one has to add \normalsize after \normalfont in order to get results suitable for 11pt or 12pt documents. | |
| Jun 16, 2012 at 3:20 | comment | added | Danie Els | @Christophe: My formula is basicaly L = (0.03193 W + 0.44961pt)*N with W the alphabet width in points, N the number of chars and L the line width in points. The formula in memoir is for N=65 and it differs slightly from mine but not by much. | |
| Jun 15, 2012 at 13:50 | comment | added | Christophe | Thank you for your answer. I'm a bit lost in the units and variables used. Maybe you could help me on this: Do you know if the formula you're using (from "The Elements of Typographic Style") is related in anyway to the one given in the memoir class documentation (here) (section 2.4, page 13)? Thanks again. | |
