You can get a tex font that is real big, or make it as large as you want with
metafont, generate the tex font, then use ali ozer's  program that can 
generate amiga fonts from tex fonts. The results are terrific. I have 
used this in ComicSetter for doing really nice viewgraphs. 
The tex fonts are the best I have seen.

Cheap plug: my old comicsetter works terrific under 2.0 on a 3000.
