Hey August!

No surprise there.  On a google device there is a configure thingy which has a section called "Display".  There are four font sizes to choose from on my particular device.  I switched from default to the largest size but that didn't have any effect on the terminal (termux).  I believe it requires it's own fonts.

In you case I am guessing that it is less than 72 characters given what you are saying about it.  Also I am guessing that @Fido2telebot has a hardcoded wrap at 72 characters (1960's teletype machines).  Judging by what I see at this end your msg's are fine but definetly look dated.

I'll look up all this stuff if anyone is interested but I doubt I'll ever use it other than for testing.  I don't have much love for these so-called smart devices.  To me they look like perfect targets for ye olde sledge hammer.  :::evil grin:::

Life is good,
Maurice
