[Tex/LaTex] Change KOMA Script Chapter Heading Font Size locally

Question

Is there a way to change the size of a KOMA Script class locally, in my case for the Appendix? I use the packet option headings=small and would like to make the chapter headings of my Appendix even smaller if possible.

Thanks!

Answer 1

1. Smaller fontsize in headings only

Just use \addtokomafont{chapter}{\small} after you start the appendix-part by using the command \appendix:

\documentclass[headings=small]{scrreprt}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\begin{document}

\chapter{foo}
\blindtext \blindtext

\appendix

\addtokomafont{chapter}{\small} %% Here it goes

\chapter{foo}
\blindtext \blindtext

\chapter{bar}
\blindtext \blindtext

\end{document}

Text:

Appendix:

2. Smaller fontsize in headings and text

If you want all text in appendices to be set in a smaller fontsize, and adjust all spacing accordingly use the \KOMAoption{fontsize=size} at the same place:

\documentclass[headings=small]{scrreprt}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\begin{document}

\chapter{foo}
\blindtext \blindtext

\appendix

\KOMAoption{fontsize=9pt}       %% Smaller everything

\chapter{foo}
\blindtext \blindtext

\chapter{bar}
\blindtext \blindtext

\end{document}
