Can't be done with any existing applications - the Font Manager and
Quickdraw only use a byte for the point size, limiting you to 255.

It would be possible for a specially written printer driver to use a
larger point size font internally and send it directly to the printer,
if such a font was available (I doubt that Pointless can generate one,
because it will have the same 255 point size limit).  The font file
format is probably also limited to 255 points.
