I use
\titleformat{\section}{\normalfont\bfseries\color{blue}}{\thesection}{0.5em}{}
to set the section title heading as bold font, but i found the title scale is not look good, i would like to set scale =0.9 or smaller only on title heading, how could i do that? my latex engine is xelatex. thanks for the help.
MWE:
\documentclass[10pt,a4paper,oneside]{book}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{titlesec}
\titleformat{\part}{\normalfont\bfseries\color{black}}{\makebox[2em] {\thepart}}{0.5em}{}
\titleformat{\chapter}{\normalfont\bfseries\color{red}}{\thechapter}{0.5em}{}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
This line is Latin Modern font\\
This line is Latin Modern font\\
\bfseries{This line is Latin Modern font bold}
\end{document}

Hi I want to change my standard font of my overleaf testfile..
The example is strange because I need to write a custom comand before my code.
But I just want to use my ttf as standard everywhere!
%
% Example of how to use a custom TTF font by following the directions here:
% http://math.stanford.edu/~jyzhao/latexfonts.php
%
% In this case, the custom font is LoKinderSchrift, from

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}

\begin{document}
\maketitle
Normal Font Text.
\Huge\customfont{Custom Font Text!}

Final solution:
\documentclass[report]{scrreprt}
\usepackage[fontsize=12pt]{fontsize}
\usepackage[left=6cm,right=1cm,top=1.5cm,bottom=1cm,includeheadfoot]{geometry}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{test.ttf}
\begin {document}

\end {document}
I suggest to compile your document with xelatex or lualatex. This way, you can use the fontspec package and easily use fonts installed on your computer or even just .ttf files:
% !TeX TS-program = xelatex
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
%\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc} % don't use `utf8x`
%\newcommand\customfont[1]{{\usefont{T1}{custom}{m}{n} #1 }}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{lokisd__.ttf}
\title{Example: Custom Font}
\author{writeLaTeX}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
Normal Font Text.
\Huge Custom Font Text!
\end{document}
I'm a beginner to latex, I was writing an article. At the end when adding references. I did:
\begin{thebibliography}{100}
Some bibitems here
\end{thebibliography}
After compiling, the word "Reference" appears in pdf, and it is too big in size. I want its font size to be 12pt. How can I do that?
Using the titlesec package, you can temporarily change the size of section headings:
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{titlesec}
\begin{document}
test
\begingroup
\titleformat*{\section}{\fontsize{12pt}{14pt}\bfseries\selectfont}
\begin{thebibliography}{100}
Some bibitems here
\end{thebibliography}
\endgroup
\end{document}
So I have the following document:
\include{preamble}
\title{test title}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\begin{equation*}
\begin{aligned}
\pi\sqrt{\pi\sqrt{\pi\sqrt{\pi\sqrt{\pi\sqrt{\pi\dots}}}}}
\end{aligned}
\end{equation*}
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{references}
\end{document}
the contents of my preamble.tex file is:
%%%%% Document Setup %%%%%%%%
\documentclass[10pt,onecolumn]{revtex4} % Font size (10,11 or 12pt) and column number (one or two).
\usepackage{times} % Times New Roman font type

}
\pdfsuppresswarningpagegroup=1
For some reason the title just will not be included on the pdf when I compile the code, I am sure I have \title{} and \maketitle in the correct positions. Any help as to why this is would be much appreciated.
Move the title after \begin{document}:
\documentclass{revtex4}
\begin{document}
\title{test title}
\maketitle
\end{document}
(don't do this with other documentclasses. Most of the time it is better to have the \title in the preamble, e.g. to get sensible pdf meta data if combined with hyperref)
I am using the \twocolumn tag to use the two-column layout in LaTeX. The problem is that this does not work properly and the text seems not to be fixed between the borders. Not sure if that minimal example helps, but at least you can see my includes and the text with which it happens.

\end{document}
Screenshot of left column in PDF that shows the problem
Why does LaTeX write from the first column into the second column and how can I fix that? I would like to avoid change each line separately, where that happens. I am looking for a global solution.
Since the workarounds of the accepted answer were not satisfactory to me, I kept searching and found a more adequate and fast workaround, adding to my preamble the following:
\setlength{\emergencystretch}{3em}
The length 3em can be changed as needed, just keep it as low as possible in order to preserve optimal appearance.
More details here.
Latex has trouble finding a suitable break point because words with multiple capital letters are normally assumed to be acronyms which should not be hyphenated.
Possible workarounds:
force a line break with \linebreak before the word. This might result in undesirable large spaces in the line, especially in your situation in with only a single white space in the line
tell latex where possible break points are with long\-word (I don't know if there are any possible hyphenation points in NAALADase). This can also be globally for the whole document with \hyphenation{long-word} in your preamble
rephrase the sentence
use another layout. Very short lines combined with very long and unbreakable words is a tough combination

I have a test document using memoir and I'd like to figure out how to change the font and color of sections and lower levels.
\documentclass{memoir}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{Times New Roman}
\setsansfont{Helvetica}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\begin{document}
\blinddocument
\end{document}
I understand that memoir includes the functionality of titlesec, and this seems to be described in section 6 of the manual, but I just can't figure out the incantation to make it work. If I wanted \section to be in the sans font in blue, and the lower levels to be in green, what are the commands to make this happen?
Use \setXheadstyle{<style>} to set the <style> of X where
sec denotes \section,
subsec denotes \subsection
subsubsec denotes \subsubsection,
para denotes \paragraph, and
subpara denotes \subparagraph.
\documentclass{memoir}
\usepackage{blindtext,xcolor}
\setsecheadstyle{\sffamily\color{blue}}% Set \section style
\setsubsecheadstyle{\sffamily\color{green}}% Set \subsection style
