I am trying to get all the math in my document appear larger in the PDF
output. The \DeclareMathSizes{12}{10}{7}{5} didnt change anything with
the math font. I ran lyx a few times to make sure it got it, but I
didnt see any difference... As for the zooming in, wouldnt I have to
change everything else to be smaller so that when it comes up it doesnt
look huge? That seems more of a pain than to just make one small part
bigger.. Or am I missing the point? Thanks for the help,
Charles
