Including package subfig breaks text size and font of Figure captions

[GoogleCodeExporter]

(Please attach an example .tex file demonstrating the problem or bug.)
Just add \usepackage{subfig} to any of the samples.

Please describe the feature, problem, or bug:
As per the title, including the subfig package breaks text size and font of
Figure captions, switching them to the main text's font type and size.

What version of Tufte-LaTeX are you using?  With which TeX distribution?
TeXLive-2009, but with Tufte-LaTeX 3.5.0 from this site.

Here's a PDF illustrating the problem. Notice Figure 1's caption on the side.

It appears that it's not the 'subfig' package per se, but actually the 'caption'
package, which is included automatically with subfig.  Including 'caption' 
causes the
same issue, I guess it probably resets caption font definitions. 

Hope this helps to pinpoint the problem.

This looks like it might be a duplicate of issue 40.  Does using the 
[caption=false] 
option solve the problem?

  \usepackage[caption=false]{subfig}

Yes, it works perfectly indeed. Perhaps the Troubleshooting section in 
sample-book
could be extended to include this information. Closed tracker issues are rarely 
seen.

Thank you so much for the fast support. Cheers

Great!

I've just added some code to the tufte-common.def file that will automatically 
set 
caption=false if you load the subfig package. I will also add some 
documentation in 
the manual about compatibility with the subfig package.

Thanks!
