Try this: Step #1: Create an HTML string that uses <font size=""> tags to adjust the font size (e.g., "46.6 <font size="2">km/h</font>") Step #2: Convert that string into a SpannedString by use of Html.fromHtml() Step #3: Put that SpannedString as the caption of your button via setText() You will have to play around with the <font size=""> tag to get things to look how you want. Also note that the roster of tags supported by Html.fromHtml() technically is not documented, so <font size=""> may not work in the future. That being said, I will be surprised if they eliminate support for currently-supported tags. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Training...At Your Office: http://commonsware.com/training -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
