Font Size becomes smaller in version 6.4.3 in UMINHO template

[vascoalramos]

Hi Professor.

I noticed that the font size became smaller, comparing to the previous version I was using.

I was able to "fix" it by adding \normalsize at the end. But wanted to ask if that change of font size is on purpose or not and thought it could be useful.

Thanks

It shouldn't work that way. The \small macro was to be used only with the URL.

What it should be:

\normalsize{ stuff }
\small{\url{doclicenseURL}}

Because the \small tag isn't enclosed in curly braces it will apply to all the document from that point on.

Put this as an issue using the bug template: You can and you should fix it and request a pull request. Or I can do that for you.

Thanks, didn't knew that, I'll do it then!

OK. The issue is created. Now to add changes, I don't think how could you have permissions to change the code. @joaomlourenco has the say on that.

I tried the approach you said, with curly brackets, but it doesn't work. The \small continues to be applied to the whole document from that point forward.

What I believe it should be, but I can't test now:

\newcommand{\licenseThis}{%
  \normalsize%
  \textit{\textbf{\theumcopyrightlabel(\option{/novathesis/coverlang})}}\\
  \doclicenseImage\\[0.5mm]%
  \textbf{\doclicenseLongName}\\[0.5mm]
  \textbf{\doclicenseName}\\[2ex]
  {\small\url{\doclicenseURL}}
}

Yes, I was just trying that and indeed it worked, thank you!

I'll create a PR then, thank you

Fixed.
