Edit (can we play with the title and author/affiliation fonts?):
If you want to change the different font sizes, I recommend playing with the includes: in_header
option of your presentation's header (check this RStudio link for specifics).
This points to a simple .tex
file on your computer where you can add LaTeX commands specifically for your presentation's preamble. You could therefore have a file called preamble.tex
in your Desktop, and use the \setbeamerfont{XX}{size={\fontsize{YY}{ZZ}}}
command, where XX is the specific thing you want to change (title, author); YY is the font size to apply; and ZZ is the skip line (in pt) (also see this link for more details).
So for your example, we have:
preamble.tex
file at your Desktop (or wherever you want) containing just two lines:
\setbeamerfont{title}{size={\fontsize{30}{25}}}
\setbeamerfont{author}{size={\fontsize{5}{20}}}
Your foo.Rmd
file:
---
title: "The title"
author: |
| The author
| The affiliation
output:
beamer_presentation:
includes:
in_header: ~/Desktop/preamble.tex
