Thanks. I mixed it up with the mnemonic font switching commands.
I guess I thought that these (\bf \it etc) can be used similarly to \bold etc.

In my understanding this only means that if the current font is bold then an
\it changes the font to bold italic and not normal italic, and if the size is
for example (c) it will keep it and won't change back to normal size. It doesn't
mean that if you have size (b) and use a \tfa the size becomes a magnified
(b) (that is, (c).) According to my understanding using a \tfb should result
a (b) size font independently the currently used size according to the manual.
My question was why \tfx works differently than \tfa. I guess they answered this
in the meantime.
Thanks,
