So,
numeric values might be useful.
Honestly, though, folks, I don't get all this yammering about "non-sticky fonts" upon the
first opening of a book.
The crucial thing, it would seem, is that once you set up your preferred font size (and everything else) for a book, it
remains sticky there. Unlike in other e-readers! Even in my formerly beloved Stanza, fonts
in the same book were
not sticky between readings. And
that is a real issue for me. There is no such problem in Marvin.
When you enter a real-life bookstore or library, do you expect to find
all books printed with the
same font size?
Definitely not.
The big advantage of e-books, to my mind, is that you can easily adjust, with a few button presses, the typography of any book to your liking. And no e-reader is as superb in these customisation options as Marvin is. And, once you set up your preferred typography for a book, it
remains 100% sticky there in Marvin.
I truly believe there are far more important issues to be resolved regarding Marvin, than making fonts appear with the same
initial size upon the
first opening of a book. At least to me, this is a non-issue, or an issue with negligible importance compared to dozens of other issues that deserve the developer's attention at this point.
