Bibliography font size for biblatex

Post by tjaenare »

Hi everyone!
I am working with BibLatex under MikTex. Now I would like to print the bibliography itself (thus, not the heading!) in a smaller font size. Apparently all usual commands do not work.
In the biblatex compendium I have found the \bibsetup command of which I assume that it might contribute to the solution, though, unfortunately I could not find anything about how to use it.

Does anyone have a solution to the problem?

Thanks a lot in advance,
Alexander

Problem solved!
The author of the package, Philipp Lehman, was so kind to reply:

\renewcommand{\bibfont}{\normalfont\small}

in order to change or

\appto\bibfont{\itshape}

At first I thought this won't work and that another command is needed to get it right.

Code: Select all

\addto\bibfont{\itshape}
But since biblatex also loads the etoolbox package, the command can be kept as told by the author (he should know).

Code: Select all

\appto\bibfont{\itshape}
But I think the other command should do also.


Best regards and welcome to the board
