Good point.  I think it's considered a prime requirement of any HTML  
rendering scheme, that it automatically fits the text to whatever size screen  it's 
running on (like PDAs and cell phones, whose screens are a lot more limited  
than our Cocos).
 
Also visually impaired users of regular PCs need to use big characters,  
maybe only 40 or fewer per line.  
 
So, "real" HTML viewers do this.  
 
BTW, does anyone know of C source to a program that just strips off and  
throws away HTML markup chars -- such as for reading email that came thru in  HTML 
form?
