Switching to smaller font more thoroughly

Switching to smaller font more thoroughly

[Giuseppe Bilotta]

For a particular table, I need to switch to a smaller body
font. Currently I'm using

{\tfxx
\placetable etc

\par}

but this way the math in the table doesn't get switched. Is
there a way to make a more thorough switch? I tried
\switchtobodyfont but it didn't work ...

Have you tried to put the \swichtobodyfont inside the
argument?

   \placetable[here][tables]{Caption}{
      \switchtobodyfont[5pt]
      etc.
   }

Cheers,

Taco

It doesn't work either way.

Do you have an example?

\setuptables[bodyfont=small]
\setuptabulate[bodyfont=small]

the reason is that spacing depends on the bodyfont size so it need to be controlled somehow

See the example I just posted in the "Need more
documentation on tables" thread.

What if want it for only some of the tables?

The math still comes up full-sized, though. Could be an
unexpected interaction with the nath package ...

No, it was because I had disabled \preloadfonts.
Interesting. Is this intentional or unintended? It would
seem that without preloadfonts math never gets properly
initialized.
