In the font header (which you should be able to edit with any font editor) there's a value which defines the mapping from points to pixels. If you increase that value (so you get more pixels per point) you'll get bigger characters for a given point size.

If anyone else would be willing to offer the results of their font-tweaking, I'm sure many of us would be grateful for the offering! (It's not that I'm too lazy to do the tweaking myself; it's just that I'm already spending so many hours testing and tweaking other aspects of the Cybook, as so many of us are. So the more we can save each other time-consuming steps, the more time we can all spend reading ) |

The problem is probably that most people use copyrighted fonts and thus are unable to upload their tweaked fonts – legally that is. I would gladly upload my tweaked favourite font (Underware's Dolly), but I can't. Even uploading the standard Microsoft fonts would be illegal.
However there are a few good free fonts which could be tweaked and uploaded. I'm thinking of some of the URW fonts (especially Palladio) and Charis SIL. I may look into it. |

I tried to change the DejaVU fonts spacing, but nothing happened. I tried from +-100 to +-700, no difference to the original file, what am I doing wrong?

Hard to say without knowing any details. Did you make sure to set all Metric fields to zero aside from "HHead Ascent Offset" and "HHead Desecent Offset"? Are you using "File -> Generate Fonts..." instead of "File -> Save"?

Here you go. I've no idea what you did wrong, but I had no trouble respacing these fonts.
