Well, 'æ' can be converted to 'ae' :) > > nb - your chars just become tall (3x7). eg: > > % > > # > # > # > # > # > > > S > > ## > # > # > # > ## > > s > > > ## > ## > ## > ## > > $ > # > ## > ## > # > ## > ## > # > @ > ## > # # > ### > ### > ### > # > ## > # > # # > # # > ### > # # > ### > # # > # # > o > > > # > # # > # # > # Thanks:) I tried to zoom this down (font size 4) and it was not that bad. But I think this needs a little "getting used to". Anyway, I am not against QVGA as long as this can increase the battery time and decrease the phone size over time (to something no bigger than a credit card:). So everyone has their own idea of how it should be. This is good, but not every wishes can come true. But please have a look at the neonode [1]. It runs windows mobile. It is terrible as it suffers with a lot of bugs, but looks cool on the video. It has a 2,0" LCD @ 176x220 pixels.
