In particular, getting super large letters (100-200 pt) for titles and authors would be nice. if you use a PostScript printer, kit yourself out with Mittelbach and Schoepf's font selection mechanism, and build a new font family where \normalsize maps onto at 50pt etc. No, I haven't tried it, but it would work. sebastian rahtz -- Sebastian Rahtz S.Rahtz@uk.ac.soton.ecs (JANET) Computer Science S.Rahtz@ecs.soton.ac.uk (Bitnet) Southampton S09 5NH, UK S.Rahtz@sot-ecs.uucp (uucp)
