Summary: opie-reader - how to change font size
Description:
I'm using the latest unstable feed opie-reader (0.9.1-20020923) and I can't
see how to change font size. The menu option "Format" - "Set Font" only
includes font family, not size. The default font is very small for
Helvetica.

From memory, I thought the arrows on the ipaq pad might change font size,
but they don't do anything.

Sorry if I'm missing some obvious config option.

P.S. an option to set scrolling speed would be really nice :)

The left/right arrows on the ipaq pad should change font size -
unfortunately many of the system fonts only have one size so it may be that
the reporter was using one of those fonts. Could you ensure that you have
selected helvetica as the font and try again - it definitely works on the
Zaurus (stock and OZ).

PS try the up/down arrows on the ipaq pad while scrolling is enabled - you
might get a pleasant surprise 8^).

PPS independently installable/removable help files are available from
www.timwentford.uklinux.net - they should explain all this - if they don't
please let me know.

Hi Tim. Confirmed I'm using helvetica, and that the right/left don't change
the font size, I'm afraid. The screen flickers, so it thinks it's doing
something. Might this have something to do with the problem "Appearance"
has with font sizes just now? I'm guessing wildly here.

As a quick fix, can you tell me what I might be able to change in a config
file to set the font size for now? I've tried playing with *qtreader files
in Settings, adding font sizes, but they don't seem to take.

Just tried the up/down while scrolling: just what I wanted thanks!
