Why would LaTeX ignore the font size in the documentclass
- by Rory
I have a LaTeX file. I'm experimenting with trying to reduce the font size (this is related to my other question here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2636647/latex-changing-the-font-size-for-a-document-but-in-the-preamble-not-the-docum ).
The LaTeX file is generated from another programme. I have edited it to start with
\documentclass[4pt,a4paper,english]{report}
i.e. I am trying to make the text really small. However it doesn't work. I change that 4pt to anything and the font size is the same.
When running pdflatex on it, I get this message printed out.
LaTeX Warning: Unused global option(s):
[4pt].
That might explain why the error message is
What could be going on here? How do I make it use the font size in the documentclass definition?
