I'm often in the position of having to produce posters to display
experimental results.  To do this I use a 25 pt font (LaTeX's largest text
size as far as I know) and landscape mode to produce 8.5x11 sheets which
get mounted on foamcore (sp?) and attached to a poster.  I'm wondering
whether or not someone out there has a better way to use LaTeX to make
posters.  In particular, getting super large letters (100-200 pt) for
titles and authors would be nice.

Thanks in advance for any ideas!
