Fonts & Character Sets ⇒ fine tune font size

[onewiki]

Hello,
Is there a way to fine tune font size other than using \scriptsize and \footnotesize, etc.? I ask this because it appears that the footnote size in Microsoft word appears right between \scriptsize and \footnotesize in Latex. Thanks.

You can define sizes manually: this is often needed to match another design. For example:

Code: Select all

\makeatletter
\newcommand*\mysize{%
  \@setfontsize\mysize{7.5}{9.0}%
}
\makeatother

The two numbers are the sizes of the font itself and the baseline separation. Note that I'm assuming your using scalable fonts (say lmodern).

Thank you! It works, though it is strange that I had to change the first number to 9 to get a fontsize between script and footnote.
