This command (as most) will only take effect inside the group or environment in which it is defined; in particular, when put inside a frame environment
% ... \begin{frame} ... \end{frame}
it will only affect the font sizes of this frame.
Examples of changing font size in Beamer
% Change font size in Beamer \documentclass{beamer} % set a theme \usetheme{CambridgeUS} % Dummy text \usepackage{lipsum} \begin{document} \begin{frame}{Frame with different font sizes and spacing }{size: 9pt, vskip=10pt} \fontsize{9pt}{10pt}\selectfont \lipsum[2] \end{frame} \end{document}
