[Tex/LaTex] The article class ignores 14pt

fontsize

I need font size = 14 in article document, but when I change

\documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{article}

\documentclass[a4paper,14pt]{article}

font becomes even smaller.
How to change font size?

Document class article only supports 10pt, 11pt, and 12pt. The default is 10pt. Option 14pt is unknown, therefore you are getting 10pt.

You can get larger sizes with extsizes:

\documentclass[a4paper,14pt]{extarticle}
\usepackage{geometry}

It supports 8pt, 9pt, 10pt, 11pt, 12pt, 14pt, 17pt and 20pt.

Package geometry (or hyperref or some graphics drivers like pdftex.def or …) set the paper size to the output media.

This will let you put whatever font you desire in the title: (just replace \myfont)

\documentclass[11pt, a4paper, twocolumn]{article}
\begin{document}
\font\myfont=cmr12 at 40pt
\title{{\myfont Who knows}}
\author{{\Huge A.~U.~Thor}}
\maketitle
Paper.
\end{document}

You can also use \Large or \Huge instead of \myfont, to fit the rest of the document style (this way LaTeX will only change the size of the font)
