I am writing a document in LaTeX for someone who is visually impaired, which means that I have to increase the font sizes for them. How do I increase the size of the font used for the footnote counter.
When used with the footmisc
package, \renewcommand\footnotelayout{\Large}
increases the size of the font used for the content of a footnote, but it does not increase the size of the footnote counter. How can I do this please?
Best Answer
You can redefine the footnote counter printing macro
\thefootnote
:I've used
relsize
that provides\smaller[<i>]
and\larger[<i>]
to decrease/increase the font size by<i>
steps. Although this is not necessary, it merely shows what can be done. Alternatively, you can also just usewhere
\large
is the font size you want.
