Pandoc PDF Font Size Fixes | Generated by AI

Home 2026.06

PDF is now correct at 75 pages with 48pt body text and proportional headings. The --pt flag finally works properly.

Summary of fixes to ~/projects/ww/ww/pdf/pdf_base.py:

  1. Font size via \renewcommand{\normalsize} + \AtBeginDocument (not classoption, which only supports 10/11/12pt)
  2. --include-in-header with temp file (not -V header-includes=, which collapses newlines)
  3. titlesec for heading size control
  4. Critical: moved \usepackage{setspace}\setstretch{1.5} into header-includes and removed -V linestretch=1.5 — pandoc’s \setstretch after \begin{document} was silently overriding our \normalsize back to 12pt
