Most modern fonts are scalable, so just go into Word (or whatever) and pick a nice big point size.

Stop and think...
Bear in mind that you will need simply gallons of ink and it will cost you a fortune (and non-laser printer ink disappears the first time you sneeze on it, let alone take it outdoors). A better route would be to download some free stencils, or print *outline* letters onto thin card and cut out with a scalpel and then use as stencils, with ordinary outdoor paint, and a roller or sponge. Lots of free stencil forms on line: http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=let...ient=firefox-a S |

If you do it as "Word Art" or equivalent, you can have the letter with a solid outline but a tinted or stripey middle. This can significantly save on ink. Proper printers don't use a substance that costs more than saffron for printing. |

Oh FFS. A decent printer produces dry copy, it doesn't spray expensive wet ink onto the page. Bloody amateurs. |
