new font size stops getting bigger at a certain limit in article

Question

I defined a new font size using this command

\newcommand{\Hone}[1]{{\fontsize{2em}{2.2em}\selectfont\textbf{#1}}}

but I noticed that it is not applied for all sizes

what I mean by that is for example if I change 2em to 50em or to 100em the font will be the same

this is how I'm using the command

\Hone{test}

why is this happening?

Answer 1

Add the package fix-cm to the preamble:

\RequirePackage{fix-cm}
\documentclass{article}
%\usepackage{fix-cm} % if T1 encoding is used
\newcommand{\HoneTwo}[1]{{\fontsize{2em}{2.2em}\selectfont\textbf{#1}}}
\newcommand{\HoneFive}[1]{{\fontsize{5em}{2.2em}\selectfont\textbf{#1}}}
\newcommand{\HoneTen}[1]{{\fontsize{10em}{2.2em}\selectfont\textbf{#1}}}
\begin{document}
\HoneTwo{Text at 2.2em}\
\HoneFive{Text at 5em}\
\HoneTen{Text at 10em}
\end{document}
