Some time ago someone posted a message showed how to change font
size easily in a document. Here is the example:

% beginning of a memo
\font\uhfont=cmr17
\font\acfont=cmr12

\noindent
{\uhfont University of Houston}
\vskip 2mm
\noindent
{\acfont Academic Computing}

\vskip 1cm

\noindent
Memorandum \hfill \today
\hrule
%---------------------------------- end -------------------------

Now if I would like to use bold face for both fonts, how can I do
it? It does not work by just putting \bf in front of those commands.
The font size will change to standard size for bold face. Thank
you for any information.
