this is friendlier to the eyes, especially when reading small fonts on a small monitor:

I vote for name "Pandora Zine"

Pandora has some insane dpi on a tiny tiny screen, only 3.6 inches across.
It's 4.3" wink.gif(note to self: diagonal != across)
Edit:
I've checked it on my N800(800x480 4.1") it's perfectly readable for me(the example from post 14) smile.gif

In that case I vote for pandora zine subtitle: "Only for people with perfect sight!" rolleyes.gif

What about using the ones from Gargoyle?

QUOTE

The default font for Gargoyle is Bitstream Charter and Luxi Mono. Two vastly underrated fonts that I find just perfect for screen reading.

So why not going all-out retro and pick a lame, eighties nerdy name


"Pandora pawer" was a play on that, like "amiga power", but it wasn't very good biggrin.gif

another +1 for PandorAdorer. I'm not letting it go biggrin.gif

After seeing these shots on a eee 901 I can honestly say antialiasing will allow smaller font use while still being readable. In fact subpixel shading would be even better. Of course, I wouldn't expect this at first release.

Great idea BTW!

+1 to "Hellolo"

You ought to try simpler, clearer fonts, like these:

I'd also advise against the scanlines at the top and at the bottom; scanlines are always hard on the eyes, and since this will be a reading magazine it will be an especially bad choice to put them in.

I like the idea of making it a standalone app, all the more tied to the scene. Good luck!

Hellollo

definitely. Inside the box is such a boring name. Hellollo has an "historical" reference to the project.
