[comp.text.tex] Big math characters

PER-APK@finou.oulu.fi (Ari-Pekka Kvist) (08/06/90)

Hello TEX-people,

My problem is character sizing in TEX's math mode. How on earth i
can get for example /phi-character at size 20pt or more. I have tried
everything i can but program always products /phi-character at
basic font size.
I can write delimiters at different sizes (/big, /bigg, /Big,
and /Bigg) but nothing more. I have tried for example:

 \parindent0cm
 \parskip 2cm
 \nopagenumbers
 \font\gh=cmmi10 scaled\magstep5

 {\gh$\phi$}
 and
 {$\gh\phi$}
 \bye
 where {=left brace, }=right brace, $=dollar sign
(our computer uses these sign due to our language)
The result is phi-character at 10pt size.

I'm not very experienced TEX-user and that may be reason why I
can't manage this problem.
