Text Formatting ⇒ Font Size Help

[S_David]

Hello,

I want to ask how to control the font size (in points) of a specific line or paragraph.

Thanks in advance

Setting a certain fontsize needs specification of the actual size and the interleaf.

Code: Select all

\fontsize{20}{24}\selectfont

This will set the size of the actual font to 20pt and the according interleaf (about +20% of font size). For better results it is recommendable to use scalable Postscript fonts.


Best regards and welcome to the board

Thank you, but this makes my master thesis title somewhat unclear. Is there any other way to do that? and I didn't understand the Postscript fonts part, can you explain, please?

Explain by means of a minimal working example (MWE) what you mean with unclear. Postscript Type 1 fonts are fully scalable without loss in quality. Try the Latin Modern (LM) font which is derived from standard Computer Modern (CM).

Code: Select all

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}
