How to change font size on part of the page in LaTeX?

Question

I\'d like to change text size for some page part, e.g. for verbatim block:

\\begin{verbatim}
   
\\end{verbatim         


        

Answer 1

Example:

\Large\begin{verbatim}
   <how to set font size here to 10 px ? />
\end{verbatim}
\normalsize

\Large can be obviously substituted by one of:

\tiny
\scriptsize
\footnotesize
\small
\normalsize
\large
\Large
\LARGE
\huge
\Huge

If you need arbitrary font sizes:

use \alltt environment instead. Then set size using the same commands as outside verbatim environment.

Answer 3

To add exact fontsize you can use following. Worked for me since in my case predefined ranges (Large, tiny) are not match with the font size required to me.

\fontsize{10}{12}\selectfont This is the text you need to be in 10px

    \fontsize{10pt}{12pt}\selectfont
    \begin{verbatim}  
        % how to set font size here to 10 px ?  
    \end{verbatim}

Answer 5

The use of the package \usepackage{fancyvrb} allows the definition of the fontsize argument inside Verbatim:

\begin{Verbatim}[fontsize=\small]
print "Hello, World"
\end{Verbatim}

The fontsize that you can specify are the common

\tiny 
\scriptsize  
\footnotesize 
\small
\normalsize
\large
\Large
\LARGE
\huge
\Huge
