Provides two classes, extarticle and extreport, which allow for documents with a base font of size 8--20pt. Visit CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/other/extsizes/ Download from somewhere nearby (Search) Download from Dante License: lppl Catalogued: 1999/12/07 Or you could try KOMA script classes, but that probably involves more work to get it going, anyhow it uses extsizes under the cover. -- groetjes, carel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

[OT]: 10pt in LaTeX?
does anyone know if it's possible to specify a smaller than 10pt font
size for a LaTeX document without resorting to putting the entire
document in one big \tiny{}? --which is cool for my purposes ... i'm
just curious.
tia,

No LaTeX guru by any means, but as far as I know, 10(default), 11, and
12 point types are the base sizes. After that, use modifiers such as
\tiny to \Huge. If only a small region is to be modified, the {\tiny
some text} artifact seems good. Text will revert to the previous size
after the closing brace. For large regions, or an entire document,
\tiny will remain in effect until explicitly changed, eg. \normalsize.
Of course, if you do \documentclass {contract}, the default typesize is
4pt ;P

See http://old.ait.iastate.edu/olc/packages/tex/pt.question.html for example,
for how to define your own fonts using the \newfont command - it's easy.

that's cool ... i was looking for an option i could just pass to
\documentstyle, i guess, but you can only tell it to be 10, 11, and
12pt. whatever; this is likely the only thing i'll ever do in \tiny
