Problems with URL's size

Question

I would like to change the font size of the URLs in my latex document. I did:

\begin{document}
...
\usepackage{url}

Figure 1: \scriptsize{\url{my url}}\\
Figure 2: \scriptsize{\url{my url}}
...

The problem is that these commands make the font size of the "Figure 2" also in \scriptsize and I don't want that.

Can someone help me?

Answer 1

According to url, a quick fix would be to redefine \UrlFont, perhaps as follows

\renewcommand{\UrlFont}{\scriptsize}

However, the documentation also says that it would be better to define your own url-style (which would be a bit more involved).

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{url}

\renewcommand{\UrlFont}{\scriptsize}

\begin{document}

Figure 1: \url{my url}

Figure 2: \url{my url}
\end{document}
