Problem:
Getting line-spacing to work with \fontsize. Regardless of what value I use in the second parameter, the line-spacing won't change.
Package:
\usepackage{mathptmx}
Code:
\chapter{Publications}
\newpage
\thispagestyle{empty}
\topskip0pt
\vspace*{\fill}
\noindent
{\fontsize{50}{60}\selectfont Paper I} \\ \\ \\
{\fontsize{19}{60}\selectfont A long title of the paper here that breaks into three lines but regardless of what value I use, line-spacing does not change.\par} \\ \\
\vspace*{\fill}
\includepdf[pages=-]{Papers/campaigning.pdf}
Desired solution:
To get line-spacing for the subtitle to change.
\fontsizeto after the\vspace*{\fill}is all one paragraph, as you've written it -- those\\\don't end the paragraph. (la)tex sets the font parameters as they're set at the end of the paragraph. – wasteofspace Jan 02 '15 at 11:58
