TNR is Times New Roman. I find it frustratingly small and light for its point size, compared to the earlier New York truetype font that was bundled with the early Macs.

That and using TNR instead of Bookman or Palatino would shave up to a page and a half off a short college paper.

If your so-carefully embedded fonts are too light for my eyes on my Paperwhite, I'll go into your book and explode it with Calibre and take out your embedded fonts - and be sufficiently annoyed that you're forcing me to do so that i may wind up not ever reading your book.
Yeah, I prefer bolder fonts, so hopefully you won't have a problem with anything I compile. Not that I have any self-compiled ePubs available just yet- the two I've done have been for personal use only because I don't feel like using a scanned PDF. The stuff in my signature is all from the Meatgrinder.

I do like Bookman and New Century Schoolbook in printed books, but I'm not sure how they'd display on my Sony 350 or my Paperwhite.
Ironically enough, I've had a bit of trouble getting them to work on my Android tablet. They seem to look fairly good, though.
