[OS X TeX] Font size in tetex and/or TexShop

[Sylvan Jacques]

I have just started learning Latex, and my first modification
failed. I ran
==========
\documentclass[14pt]{article}
\begin{document}

     Hello World.

\end{document}
===========
LaTeX Warning: Unused global option(s):  [14pt].
======
If I change 14pt to 12pt, it seems to run ok, and the log file has

(/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/latex/base/article.cls
Document Class: article 2001/04/21 v1.4e Standard LaTeX document class
(/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/latex/base/size12.clo
File: size12.clo 2001/04/21 v1.4e Standard LaTeX file (size option))

but the output is the same as the default 10pt size which I get
when I omit the font size.

BTW, I use tetex and/or TexShop and pdfLatex to get pdf output.

How do I adjust the font?

I am running tetex on Mac OS 10.2.8 with TeXShop--all very recent
versions.
