Is there a way to display extremely large fonts in Flash ?

I have tried:

var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
format.font = "Verdana";
format.color = 0x000000;

format.size = 72;
[TextLineMetrics ascent:72, descent:16, leading:0, width:40, height:88, x:2]

format.size = 144;
[TextLineMetrics ascent:127, descent:27, leading:0, width:71, height:154, x:77]

format.size = 288;
[TextLineMetrics ascent:127, descent:27, leading:0, width:71, height:154, x:77]

But the height never gets larger than 154.

textfield.width = stage.stageWidth;
textfield.height = stage.stageHeight;

I am looking to display text almost as large as the stage, do I need
to use a different font or an embedded font ?


-Thanks
