I am in the process of figuring out how to use high-density mode myself, so maybe we can help each other. Here's what I've found so far:
Go to http://kb.palmsource.com and search on "tiny". You will find an article titled "Creating Teeny Tiny Fonts in OS 5". At the bottom of the article is a link to download example code. The example includes 1/2-size versions of the 4 standard PalmOS fonts that you can add to your app. Option 2: in the palm-dev-forum are a couple of postings that explain how to shrink the built-in fonts by writing them to an off-screen window, then reading back the resulting bits. Take a look at http://www.escribe.com/computing/pcpqa/m68206.html Caveat: I've not tried to use either of these yet. I'm leaning towards the 2nd approach as it should use less memory. However, the first method of adding the new fonts is much more general and easy to use. Hope that helps...
