Using extsizes package changes the page margin

Question

My thesis documentation rules state that the page margins should be:

left=4cm, and the remaining are 2.5cm

I have done that using geometry package, but when adding the extsizes package to change the font size to 14pt the margins are changed.

How can I add font 14pt without changing the margins.

You can amend How can i change the fontsize with KOMA-script? to your needs. Are you still using the same template as earlier? — Johannes_B, Oct 27 '15 at 20:45
Or just use \geometry{margin=2in} after loading extsizes. — Johannes_B, Oct 27 '15 at 20:52
@touhami and @Johannes_B. Thank you both , loading extsizes before geometry solved the issue. — student, Oct 27 '15 at 20:57

Package extsizes not only changes the fontsize, but also amends various skips as well as the margins. Changing the page geometry after loading the package will give fixed margins.

If I don't have any, should I delete my answer? I added it just to make things more visible. – Asalle Mar 17 '17 at 15:26

If you do not have any explanation then maybe delete your answer. Or you could transform it into community wiki (if you choose this version please remove the "It helped me" and add that you took it from the comments). – TeXnician Mar 17 '17 at 15:31

Honestly since the question had no actual answer, i think it's fine to convert the comment into an answer. In terms of the etiquette of doing so, the original comment has been credited and comments aren't answers so I think it's fine. If you could add any kind of explanation that might be nice, but I think this is fine – Au101 Mar 17 '17 at 16:21
