[XeTeX] Problem changing default fonts

[Tobias Schoel]

Hi,

\textbf{\textsf{\huge Some Text}}

reads nicer, because it doesn't use grouping-only braces. It's always 
confusing for me to find a pair of braces in empty space (means: without 
a macro before), and it doesn't look like proper coding.

btw: why are there no macros like \texthuge, \textlarge, ... ?

bye Toscho
