My wife loves her iPhone, but there's one thing that's very frustrating: Safari likes to format pages so that only a small portion fits on the screen, and you have to scroll left and right to read the text. If you use a "pinch" to shrink the window, the font size also shrinks so that the text becomes unreadable.
I've tested this with a few very simple HTML pages that I've created, just text with a few and tags, and nothing with a width= or size= attribute. We still have the same problem. Safari doesn't seem to want to wrap the text at all; it either displays a page at a tiny font or in a readable font with most of the text off the screen.
I've also tested these pages with assorted other browsers, including Safari and the other dozen browsers I've installed on this Macbook Pro. All of them automatically wrap the text to fit whatever size window I use, including some very tiny windows. Also, the browser on my G1 "google" phone handles the pages just fine, using my default font and reformatting automatically when I rotate the phone to landscape format so that the text fits within the window.
The only browser I've seen this problem with is on the iPhone. found the Settings screen, looked through the Safari settings and didn't see anything relevant.
Any ideas what's wrong here? Or is the iPhone's Safari just flakey for simple text?
