Abstract: A method of generating a display to enable the user to be able to easily navigate a complex menu structure on a small display screen. The method of generating a display comprises the steps of receiving data representing lines of characters to be displayed, applying one font to one line of the lines, applying another font, smaller than the one font, to the remaining lines of the lines, truncating an upper part of a top line of the lines, truncating a lower part of a bottom line of the lines, and displaying the lines on the screen. This method can be used for generating a character display for navigation of a menu structure on the screen of a mobile telephone.
