I am a total newbee to Palm development so please forgive my cluelessness. I do not know what the Digest is - I'm guessing something like Google? How do I access it?
I took your advice and downloaded the xFont application. I think it's going to work perfectly. Thank you. Now, my last question (hopefully). Now that I've created a larger font, how do I get it into my application? From what I've read, I gather that I have to import it into my source as a resource. How do I do this? I understand that this process may require a lengthy explanation and if you don't want to get into it here, that's cool. I'm planning on making a trip to my local Barnes and Noble this weekend anyway to pick up a book or two on Palm development. TIA for everything!
