You can do it through constructer, see the sample code for teeny fonts at http://kb.palmsource.com/cgi-bin/palmsource.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_si d=wPxSNx5h&p_lva=&p_faqid=139&p_created=1032297447&p_sp=cF9zcmNoPTEmcF9ncmlk c29ydD0mcF9yb3dfY250PTE0JnBfc2VhcmNoX3RleHQ9Zm9udHMmcF9zZWFyY2hfdHlwZT0zJnBf cHJvZF9sdmwxPX5hbnl_JnBfY2F0X2x2bDE9fmFueX4mcF9zb3J0X2J5PWRmbHQmcF9wYWdlPTE* &p_li= and just remove the low density font. Then make sure in your program that you init the correct font. Just be careful with screens more than 320*320, I haven't tested the results. LionScribe
