Is there a way to set font arial and font size 8.5pt using TexStudio? Which documentclass can apply font size 8.5pt?
The scrartcl
class can work with any font but you have to use XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX:
\documentclass[fontsize=8.5pt,DIV=calc]{scrartcl}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{Arial}
\begin{document}
This should be in 8.5pt font.
\end{document}

There are packages to support Arial like fonts using
pdflatex
, e.g.,uarial
for the ugly URW A030 (Arial). – Schweinebacke Feb 2 '17 at 13:42 -

uarial
provides scalable font setup. KOMA-Script classes (and alsomemoir
) do not depend on XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX. So: Yes. – Schweinebacke Feb 2 '17 at 13:55
You can try:
% The command below will automatically compile your document with XeLaTeX, which is needed if you want to use Arial or any font which is installed on your system.
% !TeX program = xelatex
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec} % Needed to run XeLaTeX
\usepackage{lipsum} % (Use for dummy (Lorem ipsum) text
\setmainfont{Arial}
\usepackage[9pt]{extsizes} % The sizes available are 8pt, 9pt, 10pt, 11pt, 12pt, 14pt, 17pt, and 20pt
\begin{document}
\lipsum[1]
\end{document}.
pdflatex
,lualatex
,xelatex
) and for setting up font size 8.5pt with LaTeX or are you searching how to setup the font and font size of the editor? – Schweinebacke Feb 2 '17 at 13:45
