The largest type size available from LaTeX is 30pt. You can load
larger fonts (within the restrictions of what you have on your system)
with the command \newfont{\cs}{font} where \cs is a LaTeX command which
should select the font and "font" is the specifier for the font (e.g.
cmr10 at 12pt). Ask your TeX maintainers what size fonts are available.
You might have more success using SliTeX to make posters; its fonts have
normalsize where LaTeX has huge. Most of what works in LaTeX also works in
SliTeX. (notable exceptions are sectioning commands and \sc).
