I'd like to know how I can change the size of font that LaTeX uses for
subscripts and subsubscripts in mathematical equations.  I've written my
entire thesis in LaTeX, and have some 200 equations throughout, most
with subscripted variables.  Now I find our local (to this University)
administrators have decreed that NO fonts in a thesis (INCLUDING fonts
used for subscripts) shall be less than 10 points in size...

You can imagine how happy I am at the thought of going into a couple of
hundred equations to add font information everywhere I have
subscripts...

So, is there an easy way to change the font size???  According to the
LaTeX manual, section C.14.4, it seems that the fonts scriptstyle and
scriptscriptstyle are both preloaded...  I suspect this means I'm up the
creek?  I've tried using the following sequence, which I thought might
work, but with no success:

     \load{large}{displaystyle}
     \load{large}{script}
     \load{large}{scriptscript}

Any help or ponters to help would be greatly appreciated.


                OS/2 - the other half is in the mail...
