Yes I hadn't read this paragraph really carefully but I agree that the choice is deliberate (and imho not really wrong, the larger sizes looks a bit thin). But I came across the problem due to a question were someone wanted the "normal" latex fonts and not the one from fix-cm in the headings. Couldn't an option for fix-cm, e.g. [allopticalsizes] be a solution? -- Ulrike Fischer http://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/
