I am intrigued by an ad in this week's (27 Sept) issue of MacWEEK for
the product FontSizer.  The ad copy seems to imply that it constructs a
screen font on-the-fly; or at least it alters the font metrics.  This seems
quite a trick to pull off; on the other hand, I have occasionally needed
11pt Palatino, but it is nearly illegible on my SE screen.

If anyone can comment on the usability and actual details of what this
product does, I might gamble the $99.95 on it.
