Actually, I don't think that will work to make it the default browser. It doesn't look like it's accepting a URL passed to it, so it might start up the browser, but won't open a clicked link.

Anyone tried the procedure in the link above?

So, this is great, but 2 big problems.

1) Need a way to make this default (i.e. open clicked links from, say, email)

2) Font Size is WAY too big, even on small. I'm surprised there hasn't been more discussion about that. On my VGA Touch Pro, it borders on unusable.

Maybe someone could find a hack for a smaller font size?

Interesting, I loaded it up on my Touch Pro and thought, "great, I don't have to go in the registry to make the fonts larger". In fact, they seem to have sized them exactly the size I was using in the Java based beta. I love that I can run both, I've been thinking about dedicating the Java Mini 5 beta to use for Microsoft CRM Mobile and bumping up the fonts to an even larger size.

there's no discussion because the font size is better than java based om5.

You must have perfect vision or strong contacts/glasses. I've always felt that the font was terrible adn thus one of the biggest negatives of om5 in the past. Now it's perfect! Or maybe it's because i have a tp2 with a much larger screen and wvga resolution...

Well, I do have good vision, but font size is huge on my VGA TP.

For example, here's www.verizon.com on my phone. I'm holding it vertically and positioned the top of the red bar at the top of my screen and then all the way over to the left.

Here's a screenshot using Mini WM and Mini Java. Huge difference in how much is on the screen and the Java version is perfectly legible. Fonts on WM set to small. Fonts on Java are custom set in the registry.

Can someone with a VGA screen confirm my WM fonts are "normal"?

The Opera Min 5 for WM "small" font is still a little too LARGE... there should be an "extra small" choice for WVGA/VGA users with good vision.

Regardless of what windows system font size is used in Settings.

Where can I set system font size? I don't recall ever seeing that anywhere.

to be fair, that verizon screenshot you posted has a lot font on that page that's bold and larger than standard font on most pages... but i agree, there hsould be more options. It would be cool to have multiple zoom level choices in the settings like with om10. The problem with om5 java is the font looks too compressed if that makes sense... the size doesn't bother me so much, it's that it looks like it's washed out.

system font size start>settings>system>screen>text size

Ok, I remember seeing that once.

That setting seems to make very little difference inside of Opera Mini 5 WM.
