This way you can compare the same exact embedded font and you should find that the Sony renders so much nicer then the nook. The nook just doesn't get the strokes right so you have uneven strokes and some of the strokes are too think and it's very noticeable. It looked like a different font to me. I happen to have had a book that used Charis and used a Star Wars sample that uses Charis. So my comparison showed the flaw of the nook's font rendering engine.
I took a look at Charis using ADE for Windows and I did not see that the Sony was doing anything to force it to look better. I did not see any lines that were thin.

Dude you are on some bizarre crusade about this font to bash on the nook.
Look anyone who's been on this forum regularly knows you LOVE the Sony's as much if not more than I love the nooks.
But the difference is to me the Sony has it's share of faults but I'm not on some lunatic crusade to tell people not buy because it's faults and hanging out in the Sony subforum on some bizarre soapbox.
but man you are going alll nuttso on the nook board about some crazy font and telling everyone not to buy the nook because of it.
I don't JSWolf seems to be in the number of threads crusading about some font thing just seem a little over the top to pimp your Sony brand.
just sayin
