Thanks, Bob. I am needing a size even smaller than tiny.
I'm unaware of any smaller sizing. The default document font
size
controls
how small tiny is. If you set the default font smaller then
tiny
would
decrease also.
Using TeX in the preamble, you could do any size you want (in
text
mode). Here is an example LaTeX file that seems to do what is
desired:
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\def\supertiny{ \font\supertinyfont = cmr10 at 4pt \relax
\supertinyfont}
\begin{document}
Hello \tiny Guten Tag \supertiny Hello \normalsize Goodbye
\end{document}
Obviously, the \def ... goes into the LaTeX Preamble, and the
\supertiny command has to be entered as ERT. The size of the
supertiny font is 4pt as defined in the Preamble line, and you
can
make it as small as you want!
Thanks, Jens. In case one works with Mathpazo fonts, one should
replace cmr10 by what?
I think it would be either zpplcmr, pplr, or fplmr instead of cmr10.
Maybe a font expert can correct me if I'm wrong...
None works. And I have
$ locate mathpazo

Maybe this is another misunderstanding: are you trying to do this
in text mode or in an equation environment? Anyway, I just tried
something with mathpazo that works in equations:
$$
\fontsize{4}{5}\selectfont\sin\alpha
$$
produces a super tiny sine of alpha.
Regarding my earlier solution, it works for me... to see what's
wrong on your side one would need an example. But maybe this
alternative solution is what you really want.

Using TeX in the preamble, you could do any size you want (in text
mode). Here is an example LaTeX file that seems to do what is desired:
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\def\supertiny{ \font\supertinyfont = cmr10 at 4pt \relax
\supertinyfont}
\begin{document}
Hello \tiny Guten Tag \supertiny Hello \normalsize Goodbye
\end{document}
Obviously, the \def ... goes into the LaTeX Preamble, and the
\supertiny command has to be entered as ERT. The size of the
supertiny font is 4pt as defined in the Preamble line, and you can
make it as small as you want!

I think it would be either zpplcmr, pplr, or fplmr instead of cmr10.

Maybe this is another misunderstanding: are you trying to do this in
text mode or in an equation environment? Anyway, I just tried
something with mathpazo that works in equations:
$$
\fontsize{4}{5}\selectfont\sin\alpha

produces a super tiny sine of alpha.

Correcting myself:
in a math equation, the font selection needs to be enclosed in an \mbox.
Here is a complete document that works as advertised. And it does NOT
work properly if I comment out mathpazo!
Jens
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{mathpazo}
\begin{document}
With or without displaystyle:
$$
\mbox{\fontsize{4}{6}\selectfont $\sin\alpha\frac{1}{\frac{1}{3}}$}
$$
$$
\mbox{\fontsize{4}{5}\selectfont $\displaystyle\sin\alpha\frac{1}
{\frac{1}{3}}$}
$$
$$
\mbox{\fontsize{2}{3}\selectfont $\displaystyle\sin\alpha\frac{1}
{\frac{1}{3}}$}
$$
\tiny For comparison, this is typed in tiny.
\normalsize Back to normal
\fontsize{2}{3}\selectfont If you can read this, you're using the
zoom function. Or you're not using mathpazo.

> replace cmr10 by what?
I think it would be either zpplcmr, pplr, or fplmr instead of cmr10.
Maybe a font expert can correct me if I'm wrong...
None works. And I have
$ locate mathpazo
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/public/mathpazo
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/public/mathpazo/fplmb.pfb
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/public/mathpazo/fplmbb.pfb
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/public/mathpazo/fplmbi.pfb
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/public/mathpazo/fplmr.pfb

Maybe this is another misunderstanding: are you trying to do this
in text mode or in an equation environment? Anyway, I just tried
something with mathpazo that works in equations:
$$
\fontsize{4}{5}\selectfont\sin\alpha
$$
produces a super tiny sine of alpha.
Regarding my earlier solution, it works for me... to see what's
wrong on your side one would need an example. But maybe this
alternative solution is what you really want.

Correcting myself:
in a math equation, the font selection needs to be enclosed in an \mbox.
Here is a complete document that works as advertised. And it does NOT
work properly if I comment out mathpazo!
Jens
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{mathpazo}
\begin{document}
With or without displaystyle:
$$
\mbox{\fontsize{4}{6}\selectfont $\sin\alpha\frac{1}{\frac{1}{3}}$}
$$
$$
\mbox{\fontsize{4}{5}\selectfont $\displaystyle\sin\alpha\frac{1}
{\frac{1}{3}}$}
$$
$$
\mbox{\fontsize{2}{3}\selectfont $\displaystyle\sin\alpha\frac{1}
{\frac{1}{3}}$}
$$
\tiny For comparison, this is typed in tiny.
\normalsize Back to normal
\fontsize{2}{3}\selectfont If you can read this, you're using the
zoom function. Or you're not using mathpazo.
\end{document}
