Hello Maemo developers. I've been working on a few projects, and I was
hoping you guys/gals can help.

First, the precursor. I'm a researcher working on technology for developing
regions. I hope to use a few N800 and N810's this summer in Uganda. I've
ported my technology to maemo, though I am unwilling to integrate hildon,
for portability reasons. It's currently developed in python.

So, my problems. First, is the font size. The default font size for the
phone is too small, which will likely intimidate new users. I was hoping to
bump this up. A search turned up alternate desktop themes that had different
font sizes. However, these made the fonts smaller. I've built my own theme
in an attempt to get the opposite effect, but I haven't the faintest of
where in the theme file the font is. It should be easy to find, I'd assume.
Am I barking up the wrong tree for this problem?

Secondly, the keyboard. My application is a lot like a soft-phone, and it
needs a numeric dial pad, as well as a more generic keyboard for entering
email address. I began to implement this as the SIP client on the phone did,
as a standalone pop-up. After an investigation, it seemed as though I should
be able to implement a virtual keyboard for this purpose. So I compiled one
of those (.vkb file) and stored it in /usr/share/keyboards as per the
walkthroughs I found. I can't seem to enable this new keyboard though. I
have the virtual keyboards enabled, but I am unable to switch to using mine.
How do I do this?

Thanks!
