Change font size and font type

fonts

Surprisingly I can't find direct answer to that.

Simply, I need global font Times New Roman (everything, sections, subsections, etc), and global size 12 pt.

I have managed to found potential answer for first question, which is \usepackage{times}, but I have heard you should not use it to change font to Times New Romand.

Edit

I also need very specific font size for sections only (14pt), but it seems to not be possible. You can only use \large etc to change font size. I guess word is not so bad after all.

Best Answer

In article class with the 12pt option, the \large command changes the font size to 14.4pt.

If you think someone is going to be measuring this with a ruler down to fractions of a point, then it is possible to define a command that gives you exactly 15pt (see the links in the comments under the question).

Compile this example with xelatex.

\documentclass[12pt]{article}

\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{Times New Roman}

\usepackage{sectsty}
\sectionfont{\large} 

\usepackage{lipsum} % for dummy text

\begin{document}
\section{Introduction}
\lipsum[1]
\section{Conclusion}
\lipsum[2]
\end{document}
