I was an B&N today and had my 650 with me. I was able to download one of the new Star Wars samples that uses Charis SIL as the embedded font. In comparison to the 650, there seems to be an issue with the nook's font rendering. It didn't render the font as well as the 650. On the nook, the font didn't look all that good.

The font looked very uneven. All the strokes were not the same. On the 650, the font looked darker because all the strokes were even.

Is this a bug in the font rendering of the nook? Could this be why some fonts look lighter then they should be?
