how to get size 14pt font in an entire document?

Post by pythonscript »

Is there a way to easily get size 14pt Times New Roman font in an entire document? I know about using \Large and commands like that, but I'd like the entire document to be in the larger font size so I can still use math formatting, etc. Is there a standard package that I can import for this size and font? I've tried searching online and haven't found anything that I could get to work on my Linux (ubuntu) system.

Thank you!

1. If you have to use article or report or book document class, then you may try extsizes package.

2. Alternatively, you may use memoir document class which does have support for larger font sizes:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[14pt]{memoir}

\usepackage{mathptmx}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}

\lipsum[1-2]

\end{document}

Yes it is, with math support. If you're using times package, I recommend you stop and use mathptmx instead.
