fontsizexecjkxetex
I've tried to set the default font size through the documentclass optional parameter but the font size hasn't changed. I'm using xetex with texmaker.
My document:
\documentclass[60pt]{ctexart}
\usepackage[margin=0.5in]{geometry}
\usepackage{graphicx,hhline}
\usepackage{xeCJK}
\setCJKmainfont[16pt]{SimSun}
\begin{document}
\section*{前言}
...
Absolute beginner in Latex – any help would be appreciated!
You can change the surrounding text font size to 14pt by normal means. And to maintain the math font size to 12pt you could use the \DeclareMathSizes in your preamble. The syntax is:
\DeclareMathSizes{display size}{text size}{script size}{scriptscript size}So, for instance, you could set:
\DeclareMathSizes{14pt}{12pt}{10pt}{8pt}Or make all math sizes equal:
\DeclareMathSizes{14pt}{12pt}{12pt}{12pt}It really depends on your requirements! But adding either code to your document's preamble should achieve what you needed to do.
Reference: @Stephan Kottwitz's answer shown here
The relsize package defines relative size commands. The main command is \relsize{n} with n positive or negative for larger and smaller text, respectively. There are also shortcut commands \larger and \smaller for \relsize{1} and \relsize{-1}.
To replicate the MWE the main command can be used:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{relsize}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\newcommand{\mytext}[0]{\text{\relsize{0}World}}
\newcommand{\mysmalltext}[0]{\text{\relsize{-1}World}}
\begin{document}
IS:\\
Normal: Hello $\mytext$\\
Subscript: Hello $_\mytext$\\
\par
WANT:\\
Normal: Hello World\\
Subscript: Hello $_\text{World}$\\
\par
IS:\\
Normal: Hello $\mysmalltext$\\
Subscript: Hello $_\mysmalltext$\\
\end{document}

You cannot specify the font size like that as an option for
setCJKmainfont. That's what I tried to do as well at first, but then I found this somewhere:This uses the main font size (
\setmainfont[Scale=...]{font name}) and multiplies its size to get a value for the size of the CJK font.EDIT:
Note that maybe document classes don't support all font sizes. This might be the reason why the font size didn't change, when you changed that option. In such a case it defaults, usually to 10pt or 11pt, depending on the document class' settings / code.
