Hi,

You can mess with tie \fontsize{}{} command; insert this in your pre-amble:
\newcommand\sizetf[1]{\begingroup\fontsize{10.5}{12}\selectfont{#1}\endgroup}
then you can use the command
\sizetf{I'm in 10.5pt}
in ERT in your document.
(I wish Lyx supported adding per-document layouts and elements in the
same way that it supports adding Latex commands in the preamble)
Isn't that what layout modules are for ? Something like the following
seems to work fine (I set the aspect to green in LyX to clearly
differentiate from the normal text):
----------------
InsetLayout CharStyle:FontSize10.5
LyxType charstyle
LabelString FontSize10.5
LatexType command
LatexName SizeTenPointFive
Font
Color green
Size normal
EndFont
Preamble
\newcommand\SizeTenPointFive[1]{\begingroup\fontsize{10.5}{12}\selectfont{#1}\endgroup}
EndPreamble
End
----------------
I attach an example module with font sizes from 8 to 12.5 with step 0.5.
It works fine for me on 1.6.3. Once it is copied to the layout folder
(*), you reconfigure, close & reopen lyx, and add the "Font Size Styles"
module in the Document->Settings, "Modules" tab. Apply and you
automatically have those styles in "Edit->Text Styles" or better, in the
right-click contextual menu.
However, I do not encourage the use of font size this way. Better is to
use logical styles.
Best regards,
Olivier
(*) On windows, it is
C:\Documents and Settings\###?\Application Data\lyx16\layouts
where ### is the user name
on linux, it should be in the home folder, in something like .lyx16/layouts
