LaTeX normally chooses the appropriate font and font size based on the logical structureof the document (e.g. sections). In some cases, you may want to set fonts and sizes by hand.

I can't figure out how to not indent some 'regular text' after an itemize enviroment, which is inside a newtheorem enviroment. Basically I'm trying to create a new paragraph, containing the rest of the chapter, after the two theorems I wrote.
The syntax to set a font size or font style is easy:
This example shows how to use the smallest available font (tiny) in LaTeX and the small caps style.
Font sizes are identified by special names, the actual size is not absolute but relative to the font size declared in the
documentclass
statement (see Creating a document in LaTeX). In the example,
{huge huge font size}
declares that the text inside the braces must be formatted in a huge font size. For a complete list of available font sizes see the reference guide.By default, in standard LaTeX classes the serif typeface (a.k.a. roman) font is used. The other font typefaces (sans serif and typewriter, a.k.a. monospace) can be used by entering some specific commands
You can set up the use of sans font as a default in LaTeX document by using the command:
Similarly, for using roman font as a default:

The most common font styles in LaTeX are bold, italics and underlined, but there are a few more.
In the example at the introduction the small caps style was used. In this case the
textsl
command sets the slanted style which makes the text look a bit like italics but not quite. See the reference guide for a complete list of font styles.If you want to go back to 'normal' font style (default for the LaTeX class you are using), this can be done by using the
textnormal{...}
command or the normalfont
switch command.Font sizes
