aLgrTepy2e (pronounced "LargeType2"... it's a big-endian/little-endian
thing) shows your selected text at huge font sizes. Hooray!
Drop it in your app folder, log out and back in again, then experience a brave new world of shadowed white-on-black text and draggable translucent windows! Just choose "LargeType" from the Services menu (or, in 10.6, right-click for the handy contextual menu).
For even more convenience, assign "LargeType" a keyboard shortcut through the keyboard system prefs!
aLgrTepy2e reproduces the functionality of LargeType (ultimately inspired by the Address Book "Large Type" phone numbers feature). LargeType, unfortunately, only ran natively on PowerPC machines. This version corrects that.
aLgrTepy2e requires Mac OS X 10.5 or later.
