With a low resolution device, there's a finite limit to how small writing can be, before you run out of pixels to show nice looking writing. Sure, chunky (English) text can be drawn with a minimum of about 7 by 8 pixels, like the old dot matrix printers and green screen VDUs. But it looks ugly, and isn't really enough for anything beyond ye olde A-Z characters. So, that mean there's a minimum font size limit. Then, to see as much as the page as you can, to avoid the "reading a magazine through a keyhole" effect, it also means a largish minimum window size limit. And, in my case, I do not like being close to monitors. Particularly VDUs that strobe. So I'm using to viewing them from probably double the distance most people would. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
