More than 12pt ?
Hi !
This is more or less a latex question but I suppose I can find an
answer here. I prepare some exams or exercices for 11 to 16y old
students using Lyx and the article class.
However, 12pt is still too small for them. The solution I use is to
select the whole document text and to increase the size via the
character window.
This solution has one major problem : the section numbers stay in 12pt,
regular size (which is very small compared to the title, in some case).
Here are my two questions :
1. Is there a way to increase also the size of these numbers (I thought
about \Large{ at the begining of the document, and } at the end, in
latex mode, but I didn't try since it seemed hugly to me).
2. Is there any other class I could use ?
Thanks in advance,

An « external » way is to use the magnification option of dvips,
wich can produce en enlarged image of the document (starting with
big margins of course).
The first time you call it with a mag coefficient different from 1000
(yes it's in thousandths), it will take some time for font calculation,
but otherwise I used it with success to build up 11.5 pt sized docs...
