Great find.

I did try Caecilia on my reader, but due to hinting info, that doesn't suit my PocketBook reader the result doesn't look good.
I have a few favorite fonts on my reader, but I am always looking for something even better. One of my favorite fonts is dejavu serif, that has nice blocky serifs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:De...ifSpecimen.svg http://dejavu-fonts.org/wiki/Main_Page . The problem is, dejavu is not strictly slab-serif, because the thickness of strokes varies. Your find is much better in that regard.

I have just compared Caecilia and Lexia DaMa and most of the characters are almost identical. Only w, b and g are notably different, and I like Lexia version of those characters much more than Caecilia. Lexia is a little bit bolder, which is a plus again.

I can't wait to try it out. Thanks again.
