To my eye the thickness of the font looks the same, comparing Original to Original font. Which I like, because I don't care for an overly heavy font. The text just seems darker and the background screen a tad brighter, without making the font thicker.
It should be noted that as it is hubby's reader, I haven't actually been reading on it, just played with it some before giving it to him. But I compared the two again just before writing this.

Also, just as an aside, I've seen people complained that the 7 in screen is too narrow. But aren't all 7 in screens (in Kindle Fire, Galaxy Tab, Nook Color) all the same size? There aren't any 4:3 7 in screens out there are there?

Folks who are complaining the 7" screen is too narrow probably just want a different ratio between length and width. The 950's 7" screen is 600 pixels wide. The T-1's 6" screen is 600 pixels wide.
The resolution on the 950 is the same as Nook Color and probably the other 7" screens you mention as well. (600 x 1024 pixels) I guess it's a case of either one likes the size and screen ratio or one doesn't.
For plain old reading, the 7" screen gives you a page of text that is very comparable to a paperback page. I like it a lot, because it cuts down on page turning. I feel more involved in my reading.
Now, for landscape reading, I'd probably prefer a little more width, but honestly, I rarely read in landscape orientation, nor do I read PDFs often. For those applications, wider might be nicer.
