I am trying to put the title of a book in the title of my document using the MLA13 class. Unfortunately, every time it ignores my font family and size. Here is the code I am using:

documentclass{article}

usepackage{mla13}

usepackage{fontspec}

firstname{First}

lastname{Last}

professor{Professor Professor}

class{A Class}

title{A Review of textit{A Book}}

% sources{bibliography.bib}

setmainfont{Times New Roman}

begin{document}

    makeheader



    This is the content of the paper.

end{document}

The produced output looks like this:

How do I change the italicized portion of the title so that it displays in the same font as the rest of the document?

The code in mla13.sty is completely and utterly wrong.

newcommand*{makeheader}{begingroup

rmfamily

fontsize{12}{2}

noindent @firstname @lastname\

@professor\

@class\

datef@date

begin{nospacecenter}

@title

end{nospacecenter}

endgroup}

This makes no sense whatsoever to set the font size and not issuing selectfont. What happens is that in

A Review of textit{A Book}

the first three words are typeset in the current font size, independent of fontsize{12}{2}; to the contrary, textit issues selectfont, so the setting of fontsize enters into action.

The package's idea is probably to use a larger font size for the header, assuming a main font size of 10pt. But a baseline skip of 2pt is absurd.

documentclass{article}

usepackage{mla13}

usepackage{fontspec}



patchcmd{makeheader}{fontsize{12}{2}}{large}{}{}





firstname{First}

lastname{Last}

professor{Professor Professor}

class{A Class}

title{A Review of textit{A Book}}

% sources{bibliography.bib}

setmainfont{Times New Roman}

begin{document}

    makeheader



    This is the content of the paper.

end{document}

If you don't want a larger font size for the header, then remove large as suggested by Alan Munn.
