Dear all:
I would be very grateful if anyone could give me a clue on how to
universally enahance the font size of footnotes in a book.
The current size I'm using appear too small.
My document settings are as follows:
\renewcommand{\normalsize}{\fontsize{11.2pt}{13.2pt}\selectfont}
I'm not sure that is a good idea. It will mess up the relations to all
the other sizes,
which is probably part of why your footnote size is too small. It also
fails to
adjust lots of other parameters. Here, for example, is what the \normalsize
command looks like in bk11.clo:
\renewcommand\normalsize{%
\@setfontsize\normalsize\@xipt{13.6}%
\abovedisplayskip 11\p@ \@plus3\p@ \@minus6\p@
\abovedisplayshortskip \z@ \@plus3\p@
\belowdisplayshortskip 6.5\p@ \@plus3.5\p@ \@minus3\p@
\belowdisplayskip \abovedisplayskip
\let\@listi\@listI}
You've effectively deleted most of that. So if you are going to try to
do something
like this, you should probably create your own package by modifying
bk11.clo,
and then loading that. (a bk*.clo files gets loaded automatically by
book.cls, depending
upon what font size you have chosen.)
