[android-developers] Re: Different Font Size on a Button

Thanks.
I will play with SpannableString stuff with SizeSpan, and will post
here if something works.

I often get across your post as a solution to similar problems I'm
facing, and want you to know that your efforts are appreciated around
the globe (I am located in Tokyo).

Why don't you write a book "Curious Coder's Guide to Dark Side of
Android"? I am sure there are many tricks that expand the horizon
into territories where Android is not initially intended to be, and
the ever advancing hardware capabilities certainly warrant such probes
to change the course of core development in the future.

In my opinion, conserving precious display area is something Android
"should" excel for mobile computing, but does not.
