Abu Member	Thanks for your reply Your 1st comment: I don't want to disable zoom, I want the opposite thing. Enable it by default, but with a bigger zoom effect (the zoom is not enough for reading tags when they are too small). Your 2nd comment: you missunderstood me. What I mean is that I want the same big zoom level for any of my tags, independently of the original font size of the tag. To simplify, lets say I have just 3 tags with 3 different weights (so they have: "small, medium, big" font sizes). - When I hover either the big or medium tag, it rotates and is zoomed a little bit (doesn't matter because it was already big enough to be read). - But when I hover the small one, it rotates and is zoomed a little bit (but it is still not enough for letting me read it). So I want the animation/zooming effect to show me a horizontal font with at least a minimum size that makes it readable (and this minimum should be applied whatever the original weight of that tag). My cloud example is id=14426@1, I still haven't embed it in any webpage but I presume you can preview it using its ID. Many of the tags (specially the green ones) have so small weight that, when you hover them, the rotated and zoomed tag font is still so small that there are 2 problems: - the mouse icon doesn't let read the text that is behind (and if you move the mouse, the hover event finishes!) - the text itself is not readable But if you set a minimum font size for that rotated/zoomed text, both problems dissapear (I guess)

Abu Member	Hi This tool is nice but for clouds with too many tags of different weights, it happens that many of them became useless from a practical point of view, because they are just so small that you can't read them. OK, that's how it should be. I could normalize them somehow before, or use a non linear scale (so the weight range is not so large). But anyway, I think it would be really useful that rotating tag animation (before clicking links) should OPTIONALLY be of a standard size. I think it is enough with the static tags being small ... but in my case I would prefer ALL of them show the same large font size when they are horizontally shown before clicking link. What do you think?
