Good question, cf.
http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#goal
"Describe the goal, not the step".
Before, the OP complained that \infty appears too small.
He may be trying to assign a different size to it
referring to \f at size, maybe reinventing the relsize package:
http://ctan.tug.org/pkg/relsize
It would be interesting whether \larger{\infty} makes a
(pleasing) difference.
Good LuX,
Uwe.
