Page Layout ⇒ page number font size

[mikkelstuff]

I have used the \fontsize command to set the text font size to 12 pt but now I need to independently set the page number font size to 10 pt. Can someone enlighten me?

Font sizes for the document are usually set by a document class option. The \footnotesize command decreases the font size to 10pt in case the default size is 12pt.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,english]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\renewcommand*{\thepage}{\footnotesize\arabic{page}}

\begin{document}
  \blinddocument
\end{document}

Yes, that works. I did modify the command line as:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand*{\thepage}{\footnotesize{A--\arabic{page}}}

to change the page number style for this particular appendix.
