Font size is different on the Contents page

Question

I use memoir class and got some problems with ToC. Chapter style defined as:

\font\robotoLarge="name:Roboto:protrusion=default;expansion=default;tlig;trep" at 24pt

\makechapterstyle{general}{
\renewcommand*{\chapterheadstart}{\vskip 30mm}
\renewcommand*{\printchaptername}{}
\renewcommand*{\printchapternum}{}
\renewcommand*{\printchaptertitle}[1]{\hspace*{16mm}\robotoLarge{}##1\rule[-1ex]{0pt}{1ex}}
\renewcommand*{\afterchaptertitle}{\hrule height 0.5mm\vskip 40pt}}\chapterstyle{general}

But when ToC is created, the chapter style is defferent: the font is smaller, the \hrule has no space before and sticks to letters. How can the style of ToC be fixed to be the same as my main chapterstyle?

Answer 1

The toc title is typeset using the part of the chapter style which is suitable for un-numbered pages. People often forget to add this part, see \printchapternonum. Also remember that the un-numbered part never issues \afterchapternum so it may be an idea to add this to \printafternonum (which is empty by default).

Since I have no idea what that font is about, please post a minimal example, and which engine you are using. This test using palatino, does not seem to have any differences between numbered and un numbered:

\documentclass[a4paper]{memoir}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\def\robotoLarge{\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{ppl}\fontsize{24pt}{30pt}\bfseries}

\makechapterstyle{general}{
\renewcommand*{\chapterheadstart}{\vskip 30mm}
\renewcommand*{\printchaptername}{}
\renewcommand*{\printchapternum}{}
\renewcommand*{\printchaptertitle}[1]{\hspace*{16mm}\robotoLarge{}##1\rule[-1ex]{0pt}{1ex}}
 \renewcommand*{\afterchaptertitle}{\hrule height 0.5mm\vskip 40pt}}
\chapterstyle{general}

\chapter{This is a test}
