Using a default font size

[jyu60025-bot]

Hi, maybe this has been asked before, but how do I switch to using a different default font size for everything, say 12pt? For article class I know I can place '12pt' as part of the option for the class like \documentclass[12pt]{article}, but I've tried it with \documentclass[12pt][ltx-talk] and it does not seem to work. Thanks all.

Try the font-size option:

\DocumentMetadata{}
\documentclass[font-size=12pt]{ltx-talk}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}
  abc
\end{frame}

\end{document}

Thanks. It works!

Hope that this can be mentioned in the ltx-talk documentation. :)

Currently we are not picking up 'traditional' options, partly as it's not simple to decide which to send where (as we do not load another class). I'll add some docs for font-size.

but you could consider using .meta to map 12pt to fontsize=12pt perhaps?

Yeah, that might be a good compromise - working on things right now :-)
