Hi!
one one the gratest things that I discovered when buying my first gen  
iPhone was its ability to display pdf files. That meant that my  
online papers could be viewed almost in anyplace through an iPhone.  
However, it turns out that a typical 10pt article is unreadable,  
twocollumn is a nightmare

What I have tried is this
\documentclass[a5paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage[text={12cm,16cm},centering]{geometry}
and it is barely usable. It turns out that Computer Modern fonts are  
difficult to read at the iPhone screen size.
Perhaps using 14pt screen size would help? If somebody on the list  
(preferably with iPhone access) would come up with something n this  
topic, I would be very grateful.

I consider using using XeLaTeX with a more readable font, but it  
would be a plus to be able to stay above the classic LaTeX construction.

cheers from Paris
	François
