I work in science and math education and research: offering private group tutorials for university math classes (cal 1/2/3/4; lin. alg.; freshman physics etc.). I am presently looking to undertake graduate studies either in physics or science education. I also design educational software, starting with a program that uses the spaced repetition model along with audio recordings to teach foreign language vocabulary (esp. Arabic; French; Spanish) and the rote memory parts of math and physics courses.

Starting point for getting more familiar with TeX/LaTex etc @ienissei I got the same error, but the switch to Al Bayan just created a document with empty rectangles in place of the Arabic script. I searched out other Arabic fonts included by default on Mac, but all of them give rectangles. Any thoughts? |

How to use Koma-script only to change font size? @toh Relative as it is, I'm not sure clarity is as useful a concept as 'comprehensive'. This problem will attract novices, and existing answers could easily be adapted to provide the info in a more accessible way. I spent nearly 2h trying to change the font size, even with >1000pg of technical typesetting behind me. Newbs like me can't filter relevant info in searches and 250pg manuals as effectively as experienced members. My suggestions are very concrete and easy-to-implement solutions to facilitate accessibility in light of the most likely audience for the problem w/o ignoring others. |

How to use Koma-script only to change font size? I read both of those posts prior to asking my question (hence my problem!); unfortunately I did not try the extarticle class b/c the primary answer recommends KOMA over the 'extsizes', so I assumed it was better practice for reasons beyond my knowledge. After decrypting the 2nd answer, I realized that it was not actually a solution to the posted question (defines a new font-size, but does not define the font of the document such that other font-size commands will scale). Having spent >1.5h trying to resolve this, IMHO an clear (ie accessible), concise solution would be very helpful. |

How to specify font size less than 10pt (or more than 12pt)? @Yiannis, so this is not equivalent to setting the document's working or reference font size, just to set a specific font size. I'd like to set the font size for the document lower, but have things like \tiny \footnotesize etc. scale accordingly. Also, if it will just set it to 5pt, why write 4pt? |

How to specify font size less than 10pt (or more than 12pt)? @Yiannis: will this cause other font-size commands to scale accordingly? Also, you said you named it \tinyv because that is the font size in roman numerals, but you have specified: \makeatletter \newcommand\tinyv{\@setfontsize\tinyv{4pt}{6}} \makeatother Why does {4pt}{6} set the font to 5pt? |

Package or command for inverse hyperbolic trig functions? @Ian - thank you for the appropriate tags (this now comes up as the top hit on google when you search the functions + latex)! |

Package or command for inverse hyperbolic trig functions? @Christian Thank you for cleaning up the entry, how did you get the proper formatting? I spent an age trying to get it to display properly, but it wouldn't recognize line breaks, so I modified it to make it legible & left it at that. Thank you! |
