The attached is not a large font size, but it is a randomly chosen PDF generated from LyX, enlarged in Acrobat Reader to 2400%. Looks clean to me. I don't see any essential difference between an enlarge version of a small font, and a large font. In fact, I've generated posters very successfully by creating them page size, then plotting with a scale factor. -- Les ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
