Change font part/section of text

Post by BoudewijnD »

Hi,

Searched the forum a few times but I still can't figure out how to change the font of a part or section of my document.
I'am writing the main text in Utopia Regular with Math Design size 11.
And want to change my data section to a different font (have to come up with the right one) and want to change the font size to 10 or 9.

So maybe you people can help me.
Here is some code from the main file.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,twoside,dutch,english]{book}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%% PACKAGE LOADING TIME %%

\usepackage[utopia]{quotchap}   % fancy chapter beginning
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage[sectionbib]{chapterbib2} % bibliography per chapter
%\usepackage[sectionbib]{chapterbib2} % bibliography per chapter
% (sectionbib -> bibliography is \section* instead of \chapter*), should come before babel chapterbib2 
\usepackage[dutch,english]{babel}
\usepackage[justification=centering]{caption}     %better control over captions (sideways, font, ...)  
\usepackage{subfigure}  % with scriptsize or so, one can adapt the size

\usepackage{verbatim}   % extra support for verbatim environments
\usepackage{float}      % you can define 'H' so that floats are forced to be putted 'here
%\usepackage{psfrag}
%\usepackage{chappg}     % page numbering (chapno-pageno), for ToC
\usepackage{url}        % for better url typesetting
\usepackage{expdlist}   % Expanded description (e.g. better alignement) -> needed for acronym_expdlist package
 % for list of acronyms
\usepackage{hhline}     % generates nicer table lines (without missing pixels) + more flexible
\usepackage{afterpage}  % adds \afterpage command, which makes it possible to issue \afterpage{\clearpage} which flushes all floats after this page
\usepackage{listings}
\usepackage{achemso} % dit is voor mooi ACS like Referenties
\usepackage{amsmath,amsfonts,amsthm}

\section{Experimental Data} 
%Alles in size 10

\textbf{1,6-Anhydro-2-azido-3-\textit{O}-benzyl-2-deoxy-4-\textit{O}-methyl-$\beta$-\textsc{d}-glucopyranose (2a):}

Compound \textbf{1} (8.15 mmol, 2.26 g) was dissolved in DMF and cooled using an ice-bath 
and after stirring for 15 minutes NaH (60\% dispersion in mineral oil) (0.49 g, 12.23 mmol, 1.5 equiv.) was added 
portion wise. After 30 minutes the gas development stopped and MeI (0.61 mL, 9.78 mmol 1.2 
equiv.) was added drop wise. The reaction was quenched with 
MeOH after 1.5 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated and purified 
using a short silica column (20{\%} EtOAc/PE) which gave product X as clear 
oil (91\%, 2.16 g, 7.42 mmol) \textbf{$^{1}$H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl$_{3}$)} $\delta$ 7.41 - 7.27 (m, 5H, 
CH$_{arom}$, Bn), 5.48 (s, 1H, H$_{1}$), 4.64 (m, 3H, CH$_{2}$, Bn, H$_{5}$), 
4.08 (d, \textit{J} = 7.2 Hz, 1H, H$_{6'}$), 3.76 (dd, \textit{J} = 13.0, 6.4 Hz, 1H, 
H$_{6}$), 3.59 (d, \textit{J} = 24.3 Hz, 1H, H$_{4}$), 3.39 (s, 3H, CH$_{3}$), 3.29

CDCl$_{3}$)} $\delta$ 137.38 (C$_{q}$, Bn), 128.68-127.88 (CH$_{arom}$, Bn), 
100.64 (C-1), 78.80 (C-2), 75.92 (C-3), 73.75 (C-4), 72.51 (C-6), 65.34

\\
\bibliographystyle{achemso}
{\bibliography{chapter3}}
so the \section{Experimental Data} should be a different font and size.

Change font part/section of text

Post by frabjous »

The easiest thing to do would be, e.g.,

\begin{small}

at the beginning of the section, and

\end{small}

at the end. That should be 10pt. For 9pt, use

\begin{footnotesize}
...
\end{footnotesize}

Instead.

As for changing the font, it's probably best to figure out which font you want first. There's some additional info here, but I'd prefer to use higher-level commands if at all possible.

By the way your post shows a lot of the common problems mentioned this post about providing sample code, such as including packages not on CTAN ("chapterbib2"), packages unrelated to the issue, and including files not bundled/shared here ("hyphenation.tex").

@frabjous Thanx thats the trick for the size. And next time I will try to give a more use full code.

@Thorsten Also thnx but I know the most abbreviations of the sizes!
