What I meant were quotations, sorry…

KOMA-script uses \setkomafont and \addtokomafont to change the font  
for
different elements of a document. You can read more about it in the  
srcguide.pdf

I didn´t find a possibility to change the font for the quotations.  
This one doesn´t work:
\setkomafont{quote}{\footnotesize\tiny}

--> Error: "Class scrreprt Error: font of element `quote' can't be set."


However, marginal notes and citations are not among these elements.  
If it is only a
few occurrences you can change the font one by one with edit->text  
style or by adding
som ERT. If there are to many you need to redefine the latex-macro  
for citations
and marginpars.

How could I do that or read sth on this topic?

I guess the reason not to add these elements to the komafont is that  
citation and
margin notes usually are identical to the normal font. From a  
typographical standpoint
this is good advice, imho. :)


As I see it, quotations and margin notes are usually written in a  
smaller fontsize and oftenly use a font without serifs, while the text  
uses serifs. To use a smaller fontsize seems reasonably for me, as it  
is just a quotation and the smaller size is also a method to mark the  
quotations.

Is there any method to do this for the whole document, as it worked  
for the citations also?

Thanks, best*
