Anyways, your bold modded charis for the the PW looks really nice. I would say it is now my second favourite after my own modded caecilia. I did notice though that your modded charis takes quite alot of bytes - my original file went from 300 kb to 2.2 mb by embedding your charis. This might affect anyone who has a large library and only 2 gb to use on their PW.
The reason the size has jumped so much is that you did not read/take my advice to subset font. Subsetting removes any fonts not used like say bold italics and reduces the size of the fonts used to just the characters used. Subsetting might be able to be done when doing the conversion/embedding and if not, it can be done via Polish boos. Most eBooks I subset that have my Charis SIL embedded end up like 500-800k. Most are under 1MB.
