The solution for changing the font size of index entries in LyX is ridiculously easy: Simply put the desired font size command before one index entry in your document.

For example, if you want to index 'foo', you insert the index entry as usual, and in the field that LyX opens for specifying the entry you write '\large foo'.

That's it, the entire index output will be '\large' now (except for the heading 'Index', of course, but that's easy to change).

It doesn't matter where in your document you add the font size command to an index entry, any will do.

So much for that.

I've spent the best part of this day only looking for this simple trick. Incredible as it may seem, it's not on the web or in any document I've read today. I finally got the idea from a short remark in Leslie Lamport's MakeIndex Manual.

I'll add something about this to the Wiki and hope that it might help other folks as well.

Hi,

I am looking for an easy way such as

\renewcommand

to change the font size of index entries (scrbook). Does anyone know how
to do this?

I've read through all kinds of stuff now, including this:
http://www1.ku-eichstaett.de/urz/schriften/makeidx.pdf and the makeindex
and scrbook documentation, but I still don't have a clue.

Many thanks,
-- Christian
