# [OS X TeX] Increasing font size in math mode

Hi,

Thanks for your prompt reply. Unfortunately, it does not work because \zcit is a math-mode command and the \large, \Large, etc., commands only work for text. If I could define a command that uses  Zapf Chancery in text mode, that would solve my problem.

Thanks,

Raul Martinez
