Document Classes ⇒ beamer | Different Font Size for a specific Line

[shva]

Hi all,

I am using the beamer class and quite happy about it. But now there is a little problem: can I change the font size of a specific sentence which is different from the font size of the rest of text? Thanks very much!

Hi Shva,

welcome to the board!

There are standard LaTeX commands for different font sizes. In increasing order: \tiny, \scriptsize, \footnotesize, \small, \normalsize (default), \large, \Large, \LARGE, \huge and \Huge.

They switch the size, but their effect can be limited by grouping with braces. So you could write, for example:

Code: Select all

normal text

{\Large Large sentence }

normal text

Beamer even offers smaller size commands: \Tiny and \TINY.

For arbitrary sizes, have a look at Increase font size, standard sizes are explained here: LaTeX font sizes.

Note, inter line spacing depends on the font size, so I usually don't mix different font sizes in the same paragraph.

Thanks Stefan. But is it possible to specify the font weight associated with the sentence? For example, I would like to have the sentence's font weight set to 9pt, while the rest of the text is 10pt set by preamble.

Just like I said:

Code: Select all

{\small sentence}

or

Code: Select all

\small sentence \normalsize

or do the same with

Code: Select all

\fontsize{9}{11}\selectfont

instead of \small.

Thanks Stefan. It works:)
