I use Zapf chancery which is a very nice font with both capitals and lower
case. However, I find the design size too small and I use what I call
pzcbig, with the following ot1pzcbig.fd file:
\ProvidesFile{ot1pzcbig.fd}
[2000/01/12 PSNFSS-v8.1 font definitions for OT1/pzc.]
\DeclareFontFamily{OT1}{pzcbig}{}
\DeclareFontShape{OT1}{pzcbig}{mb}{it}{
<-> s*[1.2] pzcmi7t
}{}
\DeclareFontShape{OT1}{pzcbig}{m}{it}{<->ssub * pzc/mb/it}{}
\DeclareFontShape{OT1}{pzcbig}{mb}{sl}{<->ssub * pzc/mb/it}{}
\DeclareFontShape{OT1}{pzcbig}{m}{sl}{<->ssub * pzc/mb/sl}{}
\DeclareFontShape{OT1}{pzcbig}{m}{n}{<->ssub * pzc/mb/it}{}
\DeclareFontShape{OT1}{pzcbig}{m}{ui}{<->ssub * pzc/m/it}{}
\DeclareFontShape{OT1}{pzcbig}{b}{ui}{<->ssub * pzc/b/it}{}
\endinput
When the above fd file is available, the declaration
\fontfamily{pzcbig}\selectfont
will select a font family "pzcbig", which is made up from the same
fonts as the family pzc (Zapf Chancery), however, scaled to 120% of
its "natural" size.
