The problem with a horizontal scrollbar is that it doesn't exist in the PalmOS API (atleast, v4 and earlier) in the same sense that the vertical one does. A horizontal one would have to be coded in from scratch which would prove difficult to perfect, but not impossible. > How about generally improving fonts (or allowing use of other 3rd > party fonts)? I find the default italic font a bit hard to read. Third party fonts should be usable if you're using a program like hackmaster to implement them. I havn't tried mucking around with font's that are defined via actual programs, simply becuase most of them you must pay for. One option I was experimenting around with was doing something similar to DeepReeder and how it handles its fonts (Actual bitmaps, rather than OS defined characters). It looks very nice if you're reading English text in one of two sizes, but its main disadvantages is that it's difficult to add in other languages/sizes/font types/etc... -- Adam McDaniel Array.org Calgary, AB, Canada
