[Tex/LaTex] Creating a custom font size

fontsfontsize

In this query, @MartinSharrer provides a nice macro to create a custom fontsize. Unfortunately, I don't understand how to use it.

The code below uses his macro

\documentclass{beamer}
\newlength{\mylength}
\makeatletter
\newcommand{\mycfs}[1]{%
  \normalsize
  \@defaultunits\mylength=#1pt\relax\@nnil
  \edef\@tempa{{\strip@pt\mylength}}%
  \ifx\protect\@typeset@protect
     \edef\@currsize{\noexpand\mycfs\@tempa}% store calculated size
  \fi
  \mylength=1.2\mylength
  \edef\@tempa{\@tempa{\strip@pt\mylength}}%
  \@tempa
  \expandafter\fontsize\@tempa
  \selectfont
}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
{\mycfs{8} This is a test} \\
{\mycfs{7} This is a test} \\
{\mycfs{6} This is a test} \\
{\mycfs{5} This is a test} \\
\end{document}

But produces this output .

The font selection part is great but I can't figure out how to remove the numbers at the beginning of each line. Could somebody advise please?

I can't figure out how to remove the numbers at the beginning of each line.

Simply remove the line that contains just \@tempa.

[Tex/LaTex] Custom font size for itemize

Define your own itemize environment which uses the normal one but changes the font size first. The relsize package gives you the handy \smaller and \larger macros.

This would make every level one font size step smaller.

\usepackage{relsize}

\newenvironment{xitemize}{%
    \smaller
    \itemize
}{%
    \enditemize
}

This would make the first level smaller then the text. If this is not wanted change \smaller to \ifnum\csname @itemdepth\endcsname=0\else\smaller\fi.

If you want to keep the itemize name in your documents, use:

\let\olditemize\itemize
\let\endolditemize\enditemize
\renewenvironment{itemize}{%
    \smaller
    \olditemize
}{%
    \endolditemize
}

You could define your own set of e.g. \fontitemi, \fontitemii, ... macros:

\makeatletter
\newenvironment{xitemize}{%
    \@nameuse{fontitem\romannumeral\the\@itemdepth}
    \itemize
}{%
    \enditemize
}
\makeatother
\newcommand{\fontitem}{\Huge}
\newcommand{\fontitemi}{\Large}
\newcommand{\fontitemii}{\large}
\newcommand{\fontitemiii}{\normalsize}
\newcommand{\fontitemiv}{\small}

use also TeX Gyre Pagella Math:

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,twoside,openright]{memoir}
\usepackage{unicode-math}
\setmainfont[Scale=0.96]{TeXGyre Pagella}
\setmathfont[Scale=0.96]{TeXGyrePagellaMath-Regular}
\begin{document}
{\tiny This is tiny}\\
{\scriptsize This is script size}\\
{\footnotesize This is footnote size}\\
{\small This is small}\\
{\normalsize This is normal size}\\
{\large This is large}\\
{\Large This is larger}\\
{\LARGE This is very large}\\
{\huge This is huge}\\
{\Huge This is very huge}


\[ \int\limits_1^\infty \frac1{x^2}\mathrm{d}x=1 \]
