Hi Adam,

Thanks for the explanation. From what you're saying is it likely that
changes will be made in a future beta release of Plucker Desktop to give the
option to use a fixed width font suitable for the Sony and Handera devices?

Just was wondering if I need to pursue understanding how to use the hack to
workaround the problem.


Many thanks

I can probably shed some light on this. Currently, there is only one
fixed-width font for plucker. It was initially coded for use on
160x160 devices and thus, looks normal when viewing it :)

When the viewer sees <pre> code, no matter what font size was
previously defined it will always use the fixed-width font; of which
looks EXTREMLY SMALL on hires devices.

Fixing this is easy, simply someone needs to create a fixed-width font
about double the size of the existing one, and compile it into the
viewer.

Unfortunatly, this fix will only work for sony and handera devices.
Tungsten users will actually see a fixed-width font of the normal
size, but it will be slightly blocky. Unfortunatly there is not much I
can do about that right at this point becuase of the way how Palm's
OS5 hires works.

A good hack for a solution :).. I'd rather fix the viewer so this isn't
required, obviously.
