Radio RDS/PTY

This question revolves around font size of the RDS/PTY. It's a nice feature to have but the font size is so large that you only get the first couple of words for the song or in the case of my addition to WEEI sports talk radio here in Mass only part of the program title. Presumably reducing the font would allow the whole song or program name to appear but I have no idea how to do it. The font size doesn't effect the station call letters as that is only 4 letters.

Anyone have any suggestions how to remedy my issue or is the problem unique to me.

Noticed the same thing on my 2003. But, I usually don't pay much attention to it as I know which stations are "push button selected" and what they play.

I suspect reducing the font size would make the display unreadable ... scrolling is a possibility and ... not sure ... our new 2006 Mini may scroll ...
