Ug, they got rid of that. Too bad.

This bug report has some info:

https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5624

I don't know of any way to increase the font size (!).

noticed this bug, or rather, reduced functionality too. bigger fonts are always better :D

Re: conversation zoom disappeared after PR1.1 update
 

that is such a shame..u dont get new features ok bt pls dont let us loose the ones we bought with the phone...i hav a weak eyesight and i always use the max font size available..somewhere i can report this to be added or anything?

You could open a bug report at:
http://bugs.maemo.org

But they will probably just tell you to start a brainstorm:

Re: conversation zoom disappeared after PR1.1 update
 

So https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7342 is fixed in PR1.1?

So the people in this forum thread scream "Oh no, they have removed another feature", while the people in that bug report scream "Hell yeah, they have finally fixed it"?

Enjoy the fight.

Andre,
i would not call it a fix..the bug was that after zooming there should be text wrapping to include all the msg in a single view but what they do is do away with the zoom feature...can you tell me what high purpose does a volume key serve in an IM view...nothing...a zoom was definately more useful any day...terrible..this is like what they do in a government job in my country...if you cant completely fix it, remove it!!

Here's my experience with this bug:

My friend's boyfriend has an N900. She was thinking of getting one but said there was no way she could use it since the Conversations app's font is way too small. I then found that you could increase the font size with the volume rocker and let her know. She noted that the text wouldn't reflow when enlarged so I got in on the bug ticket.

Now I can tell her that not only doesn't it reflow anymore, the ability to zoom has been *completely* removed. So there's zero percent (0%) chance she can use a N900 now.

I'm glad this is fixed.

This was a bug and distorted the text, while zooming is great but not allowing you to see the full text making it useless.

Re: conversation zoom disappeared after PR1.1 update
 

Incorrect. You could see the text, you just had to scroll over.

Anyway, in sum, for people that don't have great eyesight Maemo 5 is unusable in it's current state.
