Wow, thank you Mojca : pretty impressive !  Would I be right
in guessing that your example is coded in ConTeXt ?
Yes, but that is only because I have no idea how to change color in a
loop in XeTeX, I didn't want to fiddle with latex/plain tex packages,
it was easier to use metapost than kerning and raising boxes ... and
simply because it was easier for me to do it that way.

But achieving the same in plain XeTeX should not be a problem. The
main question is whether that gives you satisfactory results when
printing on huge poster.

Indeed.  And with a production run of exactly one, that doesn't
give us much room for experiment !  Anyhow, I shall experiment :
the Paintshop Pro proofs are already on their way to the sign maker,
and I await his feedback as to whether they will produce acceptable
results or whether I will have to re-do the whole thing using scalable
embedded fonts.
