This paper provides some hints and guidelines on handling text wrapping in MIDP. When long pieces of text are displayed on the small screens of cell phones and other small devices, they often "wrap to the next line," and this behavior can reduce the usability of wireless Java applications. Differences in screen size and wrapping behavior can cause handheld devices to break text in different places, creating unpredictable fragmentation of text.
