Changing the font size in LaTeX can be done on two levels, either affecting the whole document or parts/elements of it. Using a different font size on a global level will affect all normal-sized text as well as the size of headings, footnotes, etc. By changing the font size locally, however, a single word, a few lines of text, a large table or a heading throughout the document may be modified.
The standard classes, article, report and book support 3 different font sizes, 10pt, 11pt, 12pt (by default 10pt ). The font size is set through the optional argument, e.g.:
In most cases, the available font sizes for the standard classes are sufficient.
Should you require a different font size for your document, use the extsizes package . It allows for the following font sizes: 8pt, 9pt, 10pt, 11pt, 12pt, 14pt, 17pt, 20pt .
The documentclass names are slightly different from the standard classes:
The KOMA-script and memoir classes are more flexible when it comes to font sizes. Please see the documentation for more details.
LaTeX knows several font size modifier-commands (from biggest to smallest):
A table of the exact font sizes in points can be found on wikibooks .
A good rule of thumb is don’t use too many different sizes and don’t make things too small/big.
There are two possible ways to use these font size modifier commands, inline or as environment:
The \par at the end of the inline example adjusts baselineskip , the minimum space between the bottom of two successive lines. See the example in Rob’s comment below .
The moresize package adds two more to the list above, \HUGE and \ssmall . The latter fills the gap between \scriptsize and \tiny .
While using \HUGE , LaTeX displays a warning saying the font size is not available for the standard font and that it was replaced by the next smaller ( \Huge ). When using another font type, such as the Adobe Times Roman equivalent available in the PSNFSS package (see example below), however, you can benefit from that font size.
Note: The figure is scaled and therefore does not show the actual font size. It illustrates the difference between the font sizes.
Here is alternative, more flexible approach. The anyfontsize package scales the next bigger/smaller font size available to whatever size you like.
The two arguments to \fontsize are the actual font size and the size of the baseline-skip. The baseline-skip should be set to roughly 1.2x the font size .
The following example shows font size 50pt/5pt and compares them with \Huge and \tiny .
That’s more like it! Again, this only works with a non-standard font type. And again, it does not show the actual font size. Try it with LaTeX!

On paragraphs in TeX/LaTeX 27. February 2013 In "Introduction"
Very interesting post, but I think you are missing something: Every once in a while if you change font sizes, the line height is not adjusted – resulting in large space between two lines. Maybe you could comment on that as well in this post? It would fit nicely…
Hi Rob.
Thanks! Would you be able to provide a minimal working example of the issue you describe above?
Thanks, Tom.
Cool, thanks Rob!
I wasn’t aware of that issue. Will change it in the post.
Best, Tom.
No problem, glad to help and keep up the good work!
Hi Tom, How I can change the font type in LaTeX for parts/elements of a document?
I found the answers to a similar question on SX pretty good.
Hope it helps,
Tom
The relsize package might also be worth mentioning in this context.
The line height is assigned at the end of the paragraph.
So perhaps the solution for your doubt is to use
Hi Juan!
Thanks for your comment.
Are you referring to Rob’s comment ?
Thanks, Tom.
Thanks a lot for this article and especially for the hint to use \par to adjust line spacing. Could you please add a short explanation on *why* this fixes the spacing?
Thanks for your question! The command \par ends the paragraph, that’s for sure. Now why \par does the trick, I’m not entirely sure. Apparently, TeX reads the whole paragraph first for optimal space adjustment between words. And manually ending the paragraph seems to also adjust \baselineskip when the font size is changed, whereas standard paragraph ending (blank line) does not. “The TeXbook” by Donald E. Knuth would be the right place to look for an answer :-).
Thanks for the article, but how can one adjust font size of all equations globally? I mean a global math size which differs from global text font size?
II seems ridiculous to change the math font size in big projects manually!
Interesting question, thanks! You want to use the command \DeclareMathSizes as explained in the answer to this question .
Hi, I’m dealing with a monospace type 1 font that is not part of CTAN, I used the fontinst instructions and they work well but it is a little too big when used inline with another font.
I noticed some fonts have a scale option that can be passed to their usepackage command that corrects this issue but I have no clue how to go about adjusting my .sty for that.
This is the extent of my lucimono.sty file:
and it has worked well for years when used with lucida bright (I don’t like the monospace font that comes with lucida bright – I think it’s Lucida Typewriter, different than Lucida Mono) but when I use it with Times – it just is a little too big.
Any clue on where I need to look to find out how to add a scale option to my lucimono.sty file?
Thanks for your question. I’m not an expert on fonts really. However, what I read while trying to better understand your problem is that people recommend using luximono instead, which supports scaling through an optional parameter (see code below). You can download and install the luximono font as described here . In case you really need to use lucimono fonts, take a look at the luximono style file and how the scaling is done.
I want to write my Ph. D. Thesis in Gulliver font of latex. What should be the document class and commands for the font?
Thanks for this interesting question! You can find an informative discussion on the Gulliver font here . Briefly, the Gulliver font is proprietary and no similar free font exists. In case using this particular font for your thesis is a university requirement, they should have a license and be able to tell you how to install it on your system. Otherwise, you might want to take a look at the LaTeX font catalogue and pick another font you like. Sorry for the “bad” news.
excellent article, thank you for the “anyfontsize” package infos!
I want to write my ph. d. thesis in the font Gulliver. Is there any package in Latex for it ? Kindly inform me.
It seems you asked the very same question about a year ago. Please see my response here .
Wow! Thanks so much for the fantastic blog! So useful! You just saved my life with the “anyfontsize”! Hooray!
Great, thanks for the positive feedback. Appreciate it!
Very useful post. I’ve been using TeX for 35 years, and LaTeX for the last 20 or so, creating lecture notes with Beamer. I’ve frequently found the available font sizes limiting. The anyfontsize package solves that beautifully. Thank you.
Thanks for your comment! I greatly appreciate it. Best wishes, Tom
In some standard templates like sage even though using \documentclass[12pt]{sage} font size won’t change. Is any solution for that in order to change font size..?
Thanks for your question. I couldn’t find the class-file for sage. It doesn’t seem to be distributed with TeXLive and wasn’t on CTAN. Would you mind pointing me to the place where I can get the cls-file for this class, please?
Thanks for the files. A pointer to the class file or the journal guidelines would have been good enough.
Anyway, the font size is hard coded in the class file (first few lines of code and line 233 onwards). Therefore, you can’t and shouldn’t change the font size if you are submitting to a SAGE journal. You can use macros such as \large to change parts of your text. See the article above for more details.
Should you want to use this class for your own purposes, you have to make changes to the class file.
Have recently started using Latex. This helped a lot. Thank You.
Hi Sanket,
Great to hear, thanks!
All the best, Tom.
I have modified the theme I want to upload it to net so that it might useful to new theme seeker. Do you know the procedure to upload it.
Thanks for getting back to me. By theme, do you mean the modified template? Perhaps you can post the code as a comment below. If it’s not too long and may be useful to other people, I’ll be happy to publish your code.
Its a fantastic work. I am a big fan of latex myself. Keep up the good work
Dear all, i would like write my thesis in normal font, please anyone know help me.
Please specify what “normal” means. Helvetica , Times , or Arial are frequently used fonts. The default font in TeX/LaTeX is Computer Modern . Also, sometimes the university defines the font to be used for a thesis.
If he wants Times, then he could just add `\usepackage{times}`.
But, personally, I dislike this font. For now, my choice is on kpfonts (`\usepackage{kpfonts}`), which is a very good looking font.
Hello,
I am writing my thesis. Some chapters have different font size – larger than others. How can make all the chapters have the same? May you help me please?
This should not happen. You can set the normal font size globally as an optional argument to documentclass.
Whenever you use a macro to modify the font size locally, make sure you properly close it.
Thank you Tom, wonderful resource that led me to solve the problem I had. Sometimes, it is not only the font size but also the space between the lines has to be adjusted (in my case for a verbatim environment), and doing so globally was quite a challenge.
Following your post, this is the solution I came across:
This reduced the space between the lines to 90% (if I understand it right), and sets the font, in my case Menlo, to the desired size according to your advice. This might also answer Michael Peters to whom you recommended the luximono package.
Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it. Sorry for the delay in accepting it.
Is there any way to say “whatever the parent grouping’s font size is, make this group’s one size {larger|smaller}”, akin to CSS’s “font-size: larger/smaller”?
How do I make this font size thing into a macro?
I mean, allover fontsize is the default size while certain texts are a size depending on what I put in the macro.
Example:
Hello, {\large World}! How are {\large You} today? I, I am {\large fine}, thank you.
The way I want to do it:
Hello, {\aMacro World}! How are {\aMacro You} today? I, I am {\aMacro fine}, thank you.
What I’ve come up with so far is:
\newcommand{\aMacro}[1]{#1}
\aMacro{\footnotesize}% originally I wanted \large but now I want \footnotesize
… but this doesn’t work.
The purpose is of \aMacro is so that I can change those certain text ‘automatically’ (instead of manually) if I happen to want another size.
I am writing my thesis and its format in Latex.
My university has given the reference format which is made by Hancom office (this program is only for Hangul in South korea).
So, I am changing it to Latex format.
But, I have a problem.
How do I change length of the text which have a fixed height.
I did not find this option. (In Hangul office, it is intuitively possible to adjust this option)
To adjust the line width, use the geometry package . See this post for a short introduction.
hi,
How to set font size to 13 in report class?
13pt is not an option. You could use the class defined in the extsizes package to get a 14pt font size.
I am very new to Latex.
Where do you put that line?
Experimenting with it, I see no change in the document.
With this line you define the type of document. So this should be the first line of your tex file.
Need help with your thesis or book project? Let’s discuss.

To understand the correct way of writing brackets, here is an example.
Wrong Way: F=k(\frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}) which yields:
As we can see in the equation round brackets are small w.r.t to the term insid.
Correct Way: F=k \left( \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2} \right) which yields:
We can write brackets within a brackets as \ left[ \ left( Terms \ right ) \ right] , lets write an equation using this method of nested brackets:
y = [ 2 x + ( 1 x + 1 x 2 + 1 x 3 + ⋯ + 1 x n ) ]
which obtained using the following LaTeX code:
If we want to change the size of the brackets, instead of left and right commands, we can use the following:
This method is true for all the brackets, either square bracket or curly bracket.
For curly brackets, we use the previous commands together with \{ or \} as shown in the table below:
In this short post, we presented different commands to typeset big parentheses and brackets (square as well as curly ones) in LaTeX.

This is a simple example, { \tiny this will show different font sizes } and also \textsc { different font styles } .

In this example the { \huge huge font size } is set and
the { \footnotesize Foot note size also } . There's a fairly
large set of font sizes.

In this example, a command and a switch are used.
\texttt { A command is used to change the style
of a sentence } .

\sffamily
A switch changes the style from this point to
the end of the document unless another switch is used.

\renewcommand { \familydefault }{ \sfdefault }

\renewcommand { \familydefault }{ \rmdefault }

Part of this text is written \textsl { in a different
font style } to highlight it.

LaTeX normally chooses the appropriate font and font size based on the logical structure
of the document (e.g. sections). In some cases, you may want to set fonts and sizes by hand.

The following example shows how to use the smallest available font size in LaTeX ( \tiny ) and the small caps ( \textsc{...} ) font style:

The following image shows the output produced by the example above:

Font sizes are identified by special names, the actual size is not absolute but relative to the font size declared in the \documentclass statement (see Creating a document in LaTeX ).

In the following example, {\huge huge font size} declares that the text inside the braces must be formatted in a huge font size. For a complete list of available font sizes see the reference guide .

The following image shows the output produced by the example above:

By default, in standard LaTeX classes the default style for text is usually a Roman (upright) serif font. To use other styles ( families ) such as sans serif, typewriter (monospace) etc. you need to use some specific LaTeX commands, as shown in the example below:

The following image shows the output produced by the example above:

You can set up the use of sans font as a default in a LaTeX document by using the command:

Similarly, for using roman font as a default:

The most common font styles in LaTeX are bold, italics and underlined , but there are a few more.

In the following example the \textsl command sets the text in a slanted style which makes the text look a bit like italics , but not quite. See the reference guide for a complete list of font styles.

The following image shows the output produced by the example above:

If you want to go back to "normal" font style (default for the LaTeX class you are using), this can be done by using the \textnormal{...} command or the \normalfont switch command.

The following example combines together the various LaTeX code fragments used in this article.
