I'm slowly getting used to reading even with moderate lighting, perhaps it functions well as a sleeping aid like this !
Kacir, that was informative ! I know very little about fonts and I'm a little lost (hinting, interpolations, rasterisations, antialiasing etc). So you're saying that perhaps libprs500
utilises space more effectively (with between-letter/line indentations) so the same line can appear much bolder than any inbuild font ? And the reason all libprs500 fonts appear to me so much better is subjective after all (I instictively pay attention more to the actual letters and less to the space and overall look of the page/reading experience) ?
I've been aiming for a similar setup, sans serif 15-16 size with almost zero margins.
But here's what I don't get:
If I create such an rtf file (with wordpad or open office) and I import it directly to PRS-500 then the reader formats it at first, yes Arial of the correct size show up
but it losses a lot of set up info. (lines are cut mid screen but most importantly margins are not kept, it seems the reader automatically assigns it's own margins which are too big especially the top and bottom one).
If I convert the rtf file with Libprs500 before transfering it, I have to wait more than 5-7 mins for the conversion, I give up before the end, it's too long.
Am I missing something ? Perhaps I need other software (Connect or Bookdesigner) to do what you say ?
