Different sizes of font available in table?

I have a table and it appears I only have two options when it comes to font size: large and small. There should be a medium option, correct? I get an error when I replace small or large with medium. The beginning of my table looks like this:

\begin[ht] \small \begin<|p<3.5cm>|p|p|>

How do I get a universal font size for the table that is not huge or too small to read? 253k 70 70 gold badges 730 730 silver badges 796 796 bronze badges asked May 16, 2012 at 3:43 2,383 7 7 gold badges 22 22 silver badges 22 22 bronze badges

There's no \medium font size between \small and \large ; you have \normalsize (which is the default font size). The standard font size switches are: \tiny , \scriptsize , \footnotesize , \small , \normalsize , \large , \Large , \LARGE , \huge , and \Huge .

By the way, you only need one font switch command inside the table and braces are not required since table forms a group, so you can simply say something like this:

\begin \small \beginpp> text & text & text \end \end

@sphere: yes: \scriptsize , and \footnotesize . Also, for even finer control, as long as the current font supports the desired size, you can use \fontsize<>>\selectfont (in a group); as in \selectfont text here> .
