I need help finding an appropriate font for a visual perception experiment on
the Amiga. I need a font that's reasonably tall (around an inch) and easy to
read, preferably fairly bold and without serifs. If anyone knows of, has, or
can access a font even remotely like that, especially if it's in the public
domain, please let me know by email. Thanks for any help,
-Dan

Check out the TeX fonts from Fish 135 --- among those (freely distributable) fonts there are some that are 100+ points --- taller than an inch even on an interlaced screen. The disk contains "TeXF," a program which creates Amiga fonts from TeX fonts. BTW, the version of TeXF on Fish 135 has a bug that prevents it from working right for fonts for which you have no mapping file. To use it with other TeX fonts (say you are an AmigaTeX owner and thus have hundreds of more fonts) you'll need to create a mapping file first. (The program works fine with the fonts on the disk, as a mapping file is supplied. No problem there.) The comp.binaries.amiga moderators have TeXF 2.6, which solves this problem.
