janowsky@math.rutgers.edu (Steven Janowsky) told me to use \newfont,
ken@csis.dit.csiro.au (Ken Yap) told me to use TeX command \font,
and (Harry Payne) <payne@stsci.edu> sent me his own style file, which
allows to use LaTeX command \HUGE (30pt), \monster (40pt), and so on
for postscript fonts using psfonts.sty. Although I have not yet tried
his macro, I think this is just what I needed.

Thank you very much for all your responses.
