    The default article class only has three choices 10pt, 11pt and 12pt, but you must not think of these like the little font size drop down menu in Microsoft word. These values are used to configure many aspects of the document layout, the size of subscripts and superscripts, the sizes of headings. Other font sizes are defined relative to these numbers. It's not designed to let you just choose an arbitrary value.

the options 10pt, 11pt and 12pt are not lengths at all they are simply strings used as option names that suggest the size of normalsize (although 11pt doesn't set normalsize to 11pt, but 10.95pt)



They are the only three size related options but you can request a font of any size



fontsize{11.4pt}{2cm}selectfont


requests an 11.4pt font on a 2cm baseline.



For most fonts you will get the size requested. For reasons of historical compatibility, or if you do this with the default computer modern fonts then the size will be set to one of a discrete list of sizes, however if you put



RequirePackage{fix-cm}


at the top of the document, this restriction will be lifted and fonts will be used at the requested size.



Note that the size options do far more than just set the font size they also specify suitable page sizes, and suitable lengths around lists and displays, and section headings etc.

    KOMA-script allows you to specify any size for your main font, so you could use



    documentclass[titlepage, fontsize=11.5pt]{scrartcl}


    Note that you might want to select either package fix-cm or lmodern to be able to use the default font at non-standard sizes. Any Type1 font should also be fine.



    Many font packages have an option like [scale=0.958] or [scaled=0.958]. (11.5/12.0 ≈ 0.958.) Finally, if you’re using fontspec, you could do:



    documentclass[titlepage, 12pt]{article}
    
usepackage{fontspec}
    

    
defaultfontfeatures{Scale = MatchLowercase}
    
setmainfont{Latin Modern Roman}[
    
   Scale = 0.958,
    
   Ligatures = {Common, TeX}]

                      CARDNET は日本カードネットワークが運営するクレジット決済ネットワーク。日本カードネットワークの略称としてもCARDNETが使用されている。 事件・事故 2017年4月15日午前11時8分からクレジットカードの決済がしづらくなる障害が発生した。障害は同日午後5時18分に復旧した。原因は、複数あるCARDNETセンターの拠点のうち1つで、2重化してあるL3スイッチの片方が故障し、1系統にトラフィックが集中したことによる輻輳が発生したため。対処としては、故障したL3スイッチ交換とシステム再起動が行われた [1] 。 出典 ^ 金子寛人 ( 2017年4月17日 ). “CARDNETのクレジット決済に6時間強障害、原因はL3スイッチ故障”. 日経コンピュータ. 2018年10月18日 閲覧。 この項目は、コンピュータに関連した 書きかけの項目 です。この項目を加筆・訂正などしてくださる協力者を求めています（PJ:コンピュータ/P:コンピュータ）。 この項目は、経済に関連した 書きかけの項目 です。この項目を加筆・訂正などしてくださる協力者を求めています（ポータル 経済学、プロジェクト 経済）。 This page is only for reference, If you need detailed information, please check here

                      0 I am on a system dual-booting Windows and Debian (usually using the latter), and a recent Windows update appears to have wreaked havoc on the Debian boot system. I managed to boot Windows again, but not Linux. Following online suggestions, I created a Live USB of Ubuntu, and booted from that. Then I have installed and run the boot-repair utility. The utility instructs me to type several lines including sudo chroot "/mnt/boot-sav/sda6" apt-get purge -y grub*-common grub-common:i386 To which I receive the error E: Unable to locate package grub-common:i386 I am given to understand the issue may have to do with having UEFI vs BIOS (I believe I have UEFI), but do not understand this well. In any case I have subsequently run the boot-repair BootInfo Summary utility which created the following file h...
