Here is a complete document that works as advertised. And it does NOT work properly if I comment out mathpazo! Jens \documentclass[12pt]{article} \usepackage{mathpazo} \begin{document} With or without displaystyle: $$ \mbox{\fontsize{4}{6}\selectfont $\sin\alpha\frac{1}{\frac{1}{3}}$} $$ $$ \mbox{\fontsize{4}{5}\selectfont $\displaystyle\sin\alpha\frac{1} {\frac{1}{3}}$} $$ $$ \mbox{\fontsize{2}{3}\selectfont $\displaystyle\sin\alpha\frac{1} {\frac{1}{3}}$} $$ \tiny For comparison, this is typed in tiny. \normalsize Back to normal \fontsize{2}{3}\selectfont If you can read this, you're using the zoom function. Or you're not using mathpazo. \end{document}
Thanks again, Jens. I am trying to get a smaller size than the tiny one, but in text mode and *not* in math mode. Paul
