I'm writing a lengthy project which needs to be in 12pt, but my appendices make use of \small and \tiny commands which only align correctly in 10pt since there is a large amount of numerical data in multiple columns across the pages (these get too squished together and overlap in any higher font size).  I have separate sections and \include those files, and wish only to set the appendix section in a smaller font. I reference to the appendix and it contains many figures so can't make it a separate document.  I'm trying to use \fontsize{10}{12}\selectfont but it's not working. Sometimes it doesn't change anything, at the moment it makes the font slightly smaller but not 10pt size.  Code:  \documentclass[12pt]{article}  \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{multicol}  \includeonly{intro,theory,appendix}  \begin{document}  \include{intro} \include{theory} %...etc   {\fontsize{10}{12}\selectfont       %&lt;---this doesn't work \include{appendix} }  \end{document}   I'm fairly new to LaTeX and self taught, so most of my help comes from googling and ending up here, but I'm really stuck at this one and the solutions to similar questions don't seem to work for me.   makes the font size correct but seems to add the page margins twice in the appendix, so that the whole appendix text is too far down and too far to the right.

Inside a 12pt document I like to switch in an environment to a font size of 10pt. The macros like \normalsize, \large, \small etc. should all work like in a 10pt document. I'm aware that this isn't good typography and might look bad in general. I'm planning to use it for the labels inside a tikzpicture.  The task (I don't like to call it a "problem") is that I have some standalone tikzpicture documents which are using 10pt when compiled standalone, but can be also inserted into 12pt documents where the text does not fit any more in some places. I know it could be fixed by changing all distances to one of the font size specific units em or ex, but don't like to change several figures and maybe add this as a feature to the standalone package.

Kindly have a look at this code   \documentclass{article} \usepackage{fontspec} \defaultfontfeatures{Ligatures=TeX} \usepackage[small,sf,bf]{titlesec}  \setromanfont{Georgia} \usepackage{amssymb}  \newcommand{\checkbox}{$\square$} \begin{document}  If appropriate \checkbox  . Why appropriate, specify? ........... If inappropriate \checkbox . Why inappropriate, specify? .............. If appropriate \checkbox . Why appropriate, specify? ...........\\ If inappropriate \checkbox . Why inappropriate, specify? ...........  \end{document}   How can I make a dotted like, of appropriate length so that it is depressed, fainter, has consistent length so that it occupies the remaining white space in the  line or has specified length.

MWE:  \documentclass[a4paper,12pt,twoside]{memoir} \usepackage{DejaVuSerifCondensed} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \begin{document} \noindent\scshape{Hello World}\\ \textsc{Hello World} \end{document}   Explanation and question:  As you can see, I am working with a memoir document class and I've load a font DejaVuSerifCondensed, I am trying to obtain small caps for my header (which I did not place in the MWE as unnecessary). However I can't obtain the desire effect with the \scshape command nor with the \textsc{}.  I've seen other questions like     .   But either they do not adapt to my problem (for what I can see) or they do not solve the problem (following the instructions there and "inserting" the piece of code in mine).  Question here is: is there a general method (piece of code or something) to obtain small caps from a custom font (even if that is one I upload with a ttf)?, if not, what would be the piece of code to select the standard small caps font?

I wanted to type an equation in LaTeX. But it is too long to fit into one line. It involves big arrays with many columns so I cannot split it. I wanted to reduce the font size so that it can fit in one line. However, \small doesn't work in the equation environment.

For some reason and for many years there's a limit for font size in Illustrator. It is 1296 points max, so you can't go bigger without converting type to outlines first. Converting to outlines means you will not be able to edit type parameters and text it-self. Don't know how about you, but this makes me sad in non-destructive editing era.  What's your workaround?

I would like to have "something" (a package, a trick, a macro, ...?) that makes it possible for me to nicely play with the margins (or the layout) in order to set the average or typical number of characters per line.  Ideally, this "system" would help me keep this ratio (66, 2.5 alphabets, or any other number I choose/input) independent from changes in font families (such as with the use of the package pslatex or txfonts for example), in font sizes (with a 10pt or 12pt class option for example).  I've looked around a bit, and I kind of understood, that using KOMA-Script classes or the memoir class may be part of a solution, be I would prefer not (especially because I have never used any so far).  An important point for me is that the whole proportions or principles of the original layout must be kept. For example, if there was a set ratio between left and right margins, then, just playing around with one margin or with textwidth/linewidth would not satisfy me.  Why I'd like to do this? Because I like to use the pslatex package, but this put the average number of charaters per line from about 65 without to about 75+ with.  Note, I have already gone or skimmed through:        And, also there may be answers there, I couldn't (too easily) find them.

I have made many figures with tikz and want to include them in a template. Unfortunately I used ex as a measure and the template I have to use redefines the font size. THis leads to wrong distances in the figures. is there a way to set the font size for all tikz figures in a document, so I do not have to adjust my figures?

I was working on a Beamer presentation, and noticed that, if I open a group scope and use a \tiny, the font size will bet set, but there will be a large space between lines. However, if I issue a \par at the end of the paragraph, it works as intended:  \documentclass[t]{beamer} \newcommand{\shortlipsum} {Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Ut purus elit, vestibulum ut, placerat ac, adipiscing vitae, felis. Curabitur dictum gravida mauris. Nam arcu libero, nonummy eget, consectetuer id, vulputate a, magna. Donec vehicula augue euneque. Pellentesque habitant morbi tristique senectus et netus et malesuada fames ac turpis egestas. Mauris ut leo. Cras viverra}  \begin{document} \begin{frame} \shortlipsum  {\tiny \shortlipsum\par   % &lt;--- removing this \par will break line spacing } \end{frame} \end{document}   Here's a comparison between not using and using \par:    Am I doing it the right way? Why is \par the right way?

I am beginning to write more and more reports which are ever growing in size, typically about 60-100 pages, containing multiple sections, appendices, etc. However, I am finding my current system/style for labeling my figures, sections, etc., is not ideal and isn't scaling that well. Soon I will be writing my PhD thesis and want to ensure that the style I decide to use will scale well and I won't regret it or try to change it further down the line.   Currently my referencing style is something along the lines of:  \documentclass{article} \begin{document} \section{Introduction} \label{sec:introduction} \subsection{Referencing} \label{subsec:referencing} \subsubsection{Too many nested references} \label{subsubsec:too_many_nested_references} Some equations, figures, tables, pseudo code, code implementations, referenced by: %\label{eqt:equation_scaling} %\label{fig:growth_in_labels} %\label{tab:results_of_scaling} %\label{algo:producing_labels} %\label{code:python:producing_labels} \appendix \section{Alternatives} \label{app:sec:alternatives} Here we list some alternatives to appending \verb|app:| to everything. \end{document}   With this approach I frequently find I would like a labeling syntax which has a bit more detail than the minimal \label{environment:brief_description}, but would benefit from something along the lines of \label{topic/section:environment:brief_description}. However, I am fearful of trying to include section info in the labels in the event I try to move things or re-structure the document during editing. (Often I will move a proof or discussion from one section to another).  If anybody has experience with this style of issue, or has recommended guides that address this then that would be much appreciated.

When trying to typeset a table of contents with KOMAscriptand tocstyle(alpha 0.2d), I finally managed to change the font of the pagenumbers (like the rest of the document to CMSS) with \settocfeature{pagenumberhook}{\changefont{cmss}{m}{n}}, however now the page numbers are aligned at the left and not at the right side!   So how can I change that back to an alignment on the right side of the page numbers like that, but with the sans serif font?   Example:  \documentclass[11pt, a4paper]{scrartcl} \usepackage[ngerman]{babel} \usepackage{blindtext}  \newcommand{\changefont}[3]{ \fontfamily{#1} \fontseries{#2} \fontshape{#3} \selectfont}  \usepackage[]{tocstyle} \usetocstyle{classic} %\settocstylefeature[1]{entryvskip}{10pt} %\settocstylefeature[2]{entryvskip}{3pt} %\settocstylefeature[1]{entryhook}{\bfseries} \settocfeature{pagenumberhook}{\changefont{cmss}{m}{n}}  \begin{document}  \changefont{cmss}{m}{n}  \tableofcontents  \newpage  \blinddocument \blinddocument \blinddocument  \end{document}

I have seen the options such as a4paper, a5paper, letterpaper, etc... to go in the square brackets after \documentclass, but what I want is 8.25 inches width by 10.75 inches height for one document and 6 inches width by 9 inches height for another one. How is this done?

Is it possible to change the lightning-accordion-section label font size, I tried by adding   class="slds-text-heading_medium" It print like below      Expecting to increase the Font Size and bold the text.  &lt;lightning-accordion class="example-accordion"                          onsectiontoggle={handleToggleSection}                          active-section-name="B"&gt;         &lt;lightning-accordion-section name="A"  class="slds-text-heading_medium" label="Accordion Title A"&gt;             &lt;lightning-button-menu slot="actions"                                   alternative-text="Show menu"                                   icon-size="x-small"                                   menu-alignment="right"&gt;                 &lt;lightning-menu-item value="New" label="Menu Item One"&gt;&lt;/lightning-menu-item&gt;                 &lt;lightning-menu-item value="Edit" label="Menu Item Two"&gt;&lt;/lightning-menu-item&gt;             &lt;/lightning-button-menu&gt;             &lt;p&gt;This is the content area for section A.&lt;/p&gt;             &lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;             &lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;             &lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;             &lt;p&gt;The section height expands to fit your content.&lt;/p&gt;         &lt;/lightning-accordion-section&gt;          &lt;lightning-accordion-section name="B" label="Accordion Title B"&gt;             &lt;p&gt;This is the content area for section B.&lt;/p&gt;             &lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;             &lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;             &lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;             &lt;p&gt;The section height expands to fit your content.&lt;/p&gt;         &lt;/lightning-accordion-section&gt;          &lt;lightning-accordion-section name="C" label="Accordion Title C"&gt;             &lt;p&gt;This is the content area for section C.&lt;/p&gt;             &lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;             &lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;             &lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;             &lt;p&gt;The section height expands to fit your content.&lt;/p&gt;         &lt;/lightning-accordion-section&gt;     &lt;/lightning-accordion&gt;

The question Is there any way to automatically scale and put an entire document on an A0 page? The thesis for which this is to be done is available as LaTeX code, as well as PDF output. Of course I know it is possible to do this manually, but I would prefer a LaTeX solution.  A small background Our university introduced a new page limit for master theses. This is not exactly appreciated by the teaching staff as well as students. To make a little joke, we decided to try to arrange an entire thesis (of approximately 200 pages) on a A0 poster, put it up in the hallway, and put a magnification glass next to it with a note saying: &quot;New page limit introduced: 1 page maximum for all upcoming theses!&quot;  The final result As some of you asked for this: below you can see a picture of the final result. (I &quot;professionally removed&quot; some of the sensitiv information.) We presented the poster during my final presentation and everyone liked it a lot! Now, it is on display next to my office and is still attracting some attention once in a while.

My question is about changing the font size.  I have to insert two figures side by side. Coming to inserting the captions for the figures individually:  Figure 3: blah blah.....................Figure 4: blah blah...   I am able to change the font size of "blah blah". What I want to know is how to change the font size of "Figure 3" or "Figure 4", say the figure headers or something. I do not know what they are called to search on-line.

I would very much like that the the appendix sections of the Table of Contents doesn't have a section numbers, dots, and page numbers. If I do the following  \documentclass{article} \usepackage{tocloft} \addtocontents{toc}{\cftpagenumbersoff{section}} \renewcommand{\cftdot}{} \begin{document} \tableofcontents \newpage \section{Appendix} \section*{Another Letter} \addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Another Letter} \end{document}   then the section "Another Letter" is left aligned, so it doesn't look like the  others.  Question  Is it possible to have "Another Letter" styled the same way as normal TOC entries, but just without section number, dots, and page number?
