Hmmm...  You're supposed to be able to use fonts as big as 500 point.  The
large font sizes aren't a problem; a few of the programmers on the MWII
team have Helvetica-72.  It could be a problem with memory (how much do
you have?), or it could be you're running MWII under an older version of
the system.  (You should use 6.0.x for best results.)  Personally, I'd
guess the former.

Send me mail describing your system setup (hardware, version numbers, fonts,
DAs, INITs, and so forth), and I'll see if I can find the answer.  If you'd
rather talk to someone live, our tech support number is 408/727-9054.  They
may know something I don't.
