The main link you should look at is, FontShop
They have a large selection of fonts, and you can test them at 388pt.!
To get to the sample page follow these directions. From main page click on “USA & Canada”. Next either enter a name of a font in the search box, or browse by category of fonts. Once you find the font you like, you will most likely end up on the “Package Details” page; click on the style you want and you will end up on a “Font Details” page. On that page you can enter a sample text and display it at a variety of sizes (from 12pt to 388pt.) You can save the images and clean them up in Photoshop.
Important! Please note that most text setting tools don’t display kerning properly.
