Choosing a new size

To change to another size the standard LATEX commands

\tiny \scriptsize \footnotesize
\small \normalsize \large
\Large \LARGE \huge and \Huge
may be used. These commands also set the parameter \baselineskip and the \strutbox as well as the script and scriptscript sizes for the new text size. But once again they will not change other font characteristics. So, for example, it doesn't matter whether one writes \large\tt or \tt\large, the same font will be selected.
