I'm often in the position of having to produce posters to display
experimental results. To do this I use a 25 pt font (LaTeX's largest text
size as far as I know) and landscape mode to produce 8.5x11 sheets which
get mounted on foamcore (sp?) and attached to a poster. I'm wondering
whether or not someone out there has a better way to use LaTeX to make
posters. In particular, getting super large letters (100-200 pt) for
titles and authors would be nice.
Thanks in advance for any ideas!

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 <font> at 50pt etc. No, I haven't tried it, but
it would work.
