How can I change font family (and size) for footnotes? Would be great to see a small example.
Best Answer
Footnotes are typeset using (surprise)
\footnotesize
and the current font family. With the standard document classes, you may change this to, say,\small\sffamily
by partially redefining the\@footnotetext
command (Note: I'm using the etoolbox package for convenience):A small drawback of this solution is that the footnote label is not affected by these changes.
The KOMA-Script-classes allow for a more elegant solution without the drawback mentioned above:
EDIT: As Vincenzo pointed out, using the
footmisc
package is also possible:This works with standard and KOMA-Script-classes, but also has the drawback that it won't affect the footnote label.
