I think in slitex some font sizes, though you can call them using
different latex commands, are in fact the same. \scriptsize is the same
as \small, so you get a bigger font. Maybe \tiny will suit you; but
slitex is for slides, too small a size will not be very legible from a
distance.

IMHO, if you have time, you can investigate using foiltex (available on
CTAN), which may give you more/easier control than slitex.
