Ah, OK. The problem with the fonts is a little complicated, and will
hopefully be fixed soon. When Sony originally produced their hires
devices under PalmOS4, they had several different font sizes available
(hence, the screenshot). However, when OS5 came out, Palm standardized
on how hirse code was to operate and sony (wisely) adopted it, dumping
their own. As a result, Sony had to abandon their previous 'smaller
fonts' in leiu of supporting Palm's standard font sizes.

Sony attempted to maintain their older fonts on the newer OS5 devices,
but their efforts to do so -- I thought -- were too messy and rushed.
It really didn't work very well with the existing plucker framework
and would have required a semi-major re-write in our font's code. I
decided not to include it in and instead work on Palm's hires fonts as
a standard, instead.

Your TG-50 will support both Palm and Sony hires fonts, but you're
going to have to wait (along with the other Sony NX, NZ and Tungsten
owners) until I can get it working.

Be patient, its probably easy to fix.. I just need the time and a bit
of help (Ben? :) before it'll work. There was a brief disussion on
this list about this problem on weekend.  Hopefully it will be fixed
shortly :)
