BTW, by big I mean >an inch to two inches high ( 100 - 200 points?). On Fish disk #489 there's a utility called "MkBmap" that renders PostScript fonts into Amiga bitmap fonts at any size. I haven't tried it yet, but armed with that and some PD PostScript fonts, you could be in business. You'll also need some version of Post, the PostScript interpreter library, also available on a Fish disk. Fish disk #489 is up on isca.icaen.uiowa.edu; there are some PD and GnuWare PostScript fonts on ab20.larc.nasa.gov in /amiga/graphics/fonts/postscript. nj
