% \section{Introduction}
%
% On popular request, this package implements scaling of the
% math extension font `cmex'. If this package is used the site needs
% scaled versions of the \texttt{cmex10} in the sizes 10.95pt, 12pt,
% 14.4pt , 17.28pt, 20.74pt, and 24.88pt which corresponds to standard
% magsteps using |\magstephalf|, and |\magstep1| through |\magstep5|.
% Additionally `cmex' variants for the sizes 7pt to 9pt are necessary.
% These fonts are part of the AMS font package and can be found on
% many servers.
%
% We don't think that using a scalable `cmex' font improves the
% appearance of the document very much because the linear scaling of
% the font introduces changes to font dimen parameters of the font
% that are used all over the place in \TeX's math placement routines
% and definitely shouldn't be scaled linearly.  As a positive result,
% however, symbols from this font will come out in approximately the
% right size when used with a large basis font size.
%
% We therefore strongly recomment the generation of designed fonts for
% the larger sizes and hope that the corresponding \MF{} sources will
% be available in the near future.
%
%
% \section{Usage}
%
% This file can be used either as a package by placing its name
% in the argument of
% |\usepackage|, or by generating from it a |.fd| file which then
% replaces the normally used |.fd| file |OMXcmex.fd|.
%
% For the second solution you should prepare a small \dst{} command
% file containing the following statements:
% \begin{quote}
%   |\def\batchfile{|\meta{name-of-your-command-file}|}|  \\
%   |\input docstrip.tex|                         \\
%   |\generateFile{OMXcmex.fd}{t}{\from{exscale.dtx}{fd}}|
% \end{quote}
% and then run this file through \LaTeX.
% This would mean however, that your documents may look different if
% they are printed on another installation whereas when using the
% package file they would come out the same on both sites.

% \section{Implementation}
%
%
%    In case this should produce a font definition file we write
%    a message to the transcript file only.
%    The explicit spaces are necessary in an
%    |.fd| file and the |\string| guards against situations where |`|,
%    |<| or |>| is active.
%    \begin{macrocode}
%<*fd>
\wlog{Fontdef\space file\space produced\space from\string:\space
 \string`exscale.fdd\string'\space \fileversion\space
 \string<\filedate\string>\space
 \string(FMi\space and\space RmS\string)}
%</fd>
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% We now define to which external fonts the font/shape Computer Modern
% Extension Medium Normal. For the sizes 7--10pt we use fonts that are
% designed for the corresponding size and for the higher sizes we use
% scaled versions of the 10pt font since for these sizes no designed
% fonts are easily available.
%    \begin{macrocode}
%<*fd|package>
\DeclareFontShape{OMX}{cmex}{m}{n}{%
%    \end{macrocode}
%    According to Michael Downes `cmex5' and `cmex6' are not
%    distributed currently. Therefore we use `cmex7' in those size but
%    we omit a warning.
%    \begin{macrocode}
      <-8>sfixed * cmex7
      <8> cmex8
      <9> cmex9
      <10> <10.95> <12> <14.4> <17.28> <20.74> <24.88>cmex10
       }{}
%</fd|package>
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% We also redeclare the symbol font for large symbols. This is
% already done when the base format also uses CM math fonts, but it
% doesn't hurt either.
%    \begin{macrocode}
%<*package>
\DeclareSymbolFont{largesymbols}{OMX}{cmex}{m}{n}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% Finally we redefine the primitive commands |\big|, |\Big|, |\bigg|
% and |\Bigg| to change size with main size changes. To this end we
% need a new dimen register |\big@size|.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newdimen\big@size
%    \end{macrocode}
% This dimen is set with every size change to $1.2$ times the height
% of a left parenthesis.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\addto@hook\every@size{\setbox\z@\vbox{\hbox{$($}\kern\z@}%
   \big@size 1.2\ht\z@}
%    \end{macrocode}
% Now we can define the macros. Note: |\n@space| sets the internal
% variables |\nulldelimiterspace| and |\mathsurropund| to zero length.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\bBigg@#1#2{%
   {\hbox{$\left#2\vcenter to#1\big@size{}\right.\n@space$}}}
\def\big{\bBigg@\@ne}
\def\Big{\bBigg@{1.5}}
\def\bigg{\bBigg@\tw@}
\def\Bigg{\bBigg@{2.5}}
%</package>
%    \end{macrocode}
