Example: {\ninepoint \rm {\bf This type will be in a nine point bold font} {\it while this type will be in a nine point italic font} and even the math fonts, $a^2+b^2=c^2$, will be in a nine point italic font}.
If one is using normal magnification and finds a particular display a little too long, one can "shrink" only that particular display by inserting the \ninepoint command within the math delimiters
Example: $\ninepoint a^2+b^2=c^2$
%==========================================================================
% {\ninepoint\rm ...} { all fonts will be 9 point including math fonts }
% {\ninepoint $...$ } { math only to be in 9 point font }
