Font size does not change in PDF output

Hi,

I am trying to change the font size of the PDF output (using the xelatex engine) via the sphinx: config: latex_elements: pointsize: value in the _confing.yml but no effect is observed. Do you have any idea about it?

The corresponding part in _confing.yml looks like this,

sphinx:
  config:
    latex_elements:
      papersize             : a4paper #(tried lettepaper as well)
      pointsize             : 12pt #(tried 10-16pt)
      fncychap              : \usepackage[Glenn]{fncychap}
      babel                 : "\\usepackage{polyglossia}\n\\setmainlanguage{greek}\n\\setotherlanguage{english}"
      fontpkg               : "\\setmainfont[Script=Greek]{GFS Artemisia} \n\\setsansfont[Script=Greek]{GFS Neohellenic}

Thanks!

https://github.com/executablebooks/sphinx-jupyterbook-latex/pull/92 has been merged now. Thanks, @florianbussmann for the change. Will be available in the next sphinx-jupyterbook-latex release.

Thank you @AakashGfude!! Looks like I expected too much of LaTeX… For my thesis I think 12pt will be good enough.

Next I’ll try to reduce the size of code blocks (as we discussed a few months back).
