I am a beginner, and am apparently missing something simple here. What I am trying to achieve is to increase the font size to 12 or maybe 14 points. However, the 12pt
option to \documentclass
has no effect.
I am using pdflatex
to generate a pdf file from the above source.

The
article
document class doesn't recognize -- and thus doesn't do anything with -- the option60pt
. The only three font size options thearticle
class recognizes are10pt
,11pt
, and12pt
. Other document classes -- such asmemoir
and the KOMA-Script classes -- recognize many more font size options; however, to the best of my knowledge they don't recognize the option60pt
either.To change the font size within a LaTeX document, use the command sequence
Applied to your example, assuming you want a baselineskip that's 20 percent than the nominal font size, one could generate the following sequence of progressively larger font size (using a geometric progression with a factor of 1.2):
