hi guys im new and exploring PyS60...
im trying out some code, and have coded an app that retreives an .xml file from a web url.

This is then passed to internal memory on the phone, and i then pick out various xml attributes and their properties, so i can display them to the user... (It scans various tags within the xml file.)

what i need to know is what is the best way to display text which will be in the following format on the screen:

Home team: xyz
Away team: xyz
Status:      : xyz
HalfTimeScore: xx
FullTimeScore: xx
GameNumber: xxxx
PubDate: xxxxx
Country: xxxxx
etc...

I'd would like this text above to be displayed like the popup screen and font in this screen shot:
http://www.traxmusic.org/temp/Screenshot0002.jpg

a popup menu, with small enough text.
is it possible to change the font size in: appuifw.popup_menu

any thoughts appreciated.

thank you.
Darren.
