 ===== Project Status =====
-  * There is [[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=gnu.gforth&|Gforth in Play Store]], installable on Android 2.3 or later (native activity)
+  * There is [[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=gnu.gforth&|Gforth in Play Store]], installable on Android 4.0 (Android 2.3 support dropped on 2018-03-31) or later (native activity)
-  * This has a OpenGL terminal emulation and allows remote telnet on port 4444 (depending on what you call in ''/sdcard/gforth/site-forth/starta.fs'')
+  * This has a OpenGL terminal emulation and allows remote telnet on port 4444 after you type in ''t'' and return.
   * It recognizes touches, and the menu button/softkey toggles the software keyboard
+  * If the font is too small/large, use ''gl-fscale'' ( r -- ) with a float number as scale factor (<1 makes the font smaller, >1 bigger).  Example: ''3e gl-fscale'' makes the font three times larger, ''0.5e gl-fscale'' smaller by a factor of two.
 Starting the app first time unpacks the Gforth sources to the SD card.  That's a few megabytes, and therefore it takes its time.  Gforth shows a spinning wheel while it's doing so, but can't respond to any input events.  If the spinner shows you "Done; restart Gforth" for a while, you should kill and restart Gforth - it got stuck.  If you still have problems, there's a gfortherr.log and a gforthout.log in /sdcard, which might provide more diagnosis.
