Thanks

Are you sure that you want an extra large size for headers and normal
size for the rest of the text? If I were you, I would use some package
meant to produce slides for presentations, such as the ones mentioned
at the FAQ:
http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=slidecls
(The one I use is foils.) As an alternative, you can type your text
using the memoir class and the 17pt option.
I hope that this helps.
Best regards,
Jose Carlos Santos

If you are finally creating a PS or PDF file with Type 1 cmr fonts
embedded, then you can use
\usepackage{type1cm}
to avoid font substitution problems.

Better \usepackage{fix-cm}. That's a newer package that has replaced
the packages type1cm and type1ec.

Found it here:
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/unpacked/fix-cm.sty
However, I could not find any usage instructions.

My installation does not have any documentation of fixltx2e. I cannot
find any on the web either.

- Download fixltx2e.dtx and fixltx2e.ins;
- Run
latex fixltx2e.dtx
latex fixltx2e.dtx
(yes, two times, to generate the TOC.) This generates fixltx2e.dvi,
readily suitable for reading or converting witn dvips/dvipdfm/whatever.
More details are found in

Have you considered using a dedicated presentation-class? I would
recommend trying the beamer package (not only for "beamer"
presenations).

I have done so. Thanks. However, I still cannot see how one actually
uses this to change font size. I must be close to blind, but there is
no actual example on this.

it doesn't but if you do not use this package (fix-cm) it will only
allow certain fontsizes, so any fontsize asked for larger than a given
size will be converted into a given largest size.
But since most LaTeX distributions uses cm-super this limitation is no
longer valid, fix-cm make sure that LaTeX now knows that it can uses
abitrary fontsizes.

This clearified. Thanks. (Trying it out now. It seems I don't have
fix-cm, but when I use the default font and selects a lot of them, I
get prefixed size. The biggest is 24. However, times gives me all
the sized I want.)

This clearified. Thanks. (Trying it out now. It seems I don't have
fix-cm, but when I use the default font and selects a lot of them, I
get prefixed size. The biggest is 24. However, times gives me all
the sized I want up to 87, but no larger.)

eh? there's no limit: are you saying the largest you want is 87pt, or
that you can't get anything larger (which is plainly false).

Yes, right. I see that now. Cannot understand what went wrong in my
first epxeriment. Good one this one.
