I was just pointing out some of the letters that are obviously noticeable. It would have been silly to point out all the letters that have thin strokes.

I'm guessing that the fonts used in the font menu were chosen because they render well enough. But I chose to look at Charis as that is the most commonly used embedded font by publishers. Most of the Star Wars eBooks are using Charis and if it's not going to render well, it's not going to be all that good a reading experience. Sure you can change the font, but you also have to change the margins and maybe the line spacing. You cannot just change just the font without changing other setting you may not want to change.
