Fonts & Character Sets ⇒ txfonts | Changing Font Size of Times New Roman

[prakasam]

I want to write a document in Times new roman font with text size of 13. I used txfonts package. When I use \fontsize{13}{12}\selectfont, fontsize is not changed. Please help me ...

Hi,

welcome to the board!

You should provide further information, what code you are using, because \fontsize{13}{12}\selectfont works. You can see it in this small example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{txfonts}
\begin{document}
Text\fontsize{13}{12}\selectfont Text
 \end{document}

The best would be if you provide a minimal working example which shows your code and that it doesn't work, so we could tell you what the problem is and how it can be fixed.

Thanks for help...

I entered the command \fontsize in preamble. When I entered in body of the document, it displayed correctly.

If I would use a font size command in the preamble, I would adjust either the base font size of the document, or use \fontsize or related commands within a redefinition of LaTeX commands such as \normalsize, \large, \small etc. Or does the font size in your document never change, even for headings?

If you directly change the font size in the preamble, it would not have effect in the document, a \begin{document} implicitly means calling \normalsize.

If you mean to adjust the base font size of the document, I would use a class option. With KOMA-Script classes, arbitrary sizes and units are possble, such as

Code: Select all

\documentclass[fontsize=13pt]{scrartcl}
