I was directed to the application Contact-zoom as a possible solution to situations when the font of the Contacts list is too small (like when the phone is in a car holder, etc.)

There is no Talk page for Contact-Zoom, & the package overview page has no discussion:
http://maemo.org/packages/view/contact-zoom/

Wikiwide gave me this link to Contact-zoom in Extras:
http://repository.maemo.org/extras/p....3-2_armel.deb

After installation, it seems to do nothing. Fonts in the contact list still seem to be the same size, even after a reboot. Volume rocker does nothing.

In the immortal words of the help file for the calculator in Leisure Suit Larry, "How's this thing work, anyway?"
