Fonts & Character Sets ⇒ Changing font sizes in fontspec

[theo moore]

Hi, when I use fontspec, in my preamble, I have this

Code: Select all

\setromanfont [Ligatures={Common},Numbers={OldStyle}]{Adobe Caslon Pro}
\setmonofont[Scale=0.8]{Monaco} 
\setsansfont[Scale=0.9]{Optima Regular}

The Scale=x can be used to scale the fonts. Now let's say I want to set the main fontsize at 12pt. How would I do that?

What I mean is if I were to have

Code: Select all

\begin{document}
{\fontsize{12pt}{12pt}
Writing goes here
}
\end{document}

How would I set the fontsize for the whole document? What's the correct command?

Just use the 12pt option for the document class. Regarding the \fontsize command you should do some reading about low-level font commands.


Best regards
