I would raise it with SIL; they must be doing something non-standard.
PT Serif and PT Sans are from Paratype and available under open (ie free) license. See: http://www.paratype.com/public/. The serif ismy favourite font for the Kobo Touch. |
I was also using PT Serif before I moved to GentiumBook, and while I liked PT very much, I found that there is a gap in font sizes somewhere just a bit to the left of middle on the slider - one is a bit too small, and the next larger is quite a bit too big - it's almost like the one jump in font sizes on the slider actually jumps by about 3 font sizes if you know what I mean.
GentiumBook doesn't seem to do that, and the ever-so-slightly heavier stroke makes it a bit more readable than my previous favorite, PT Serif.
