Character size - 3rd from the left
Publisher font - on
Line spacing - small
Words per line - fewest (I have specified smaller margins by setting it in "reader.pref" to HOROZONTAL MARGIN=18)
The larger font – CharisSIL Larger – gives me 29 lines, which is pretty much the same as the default mobi (old) with the above character setting (no Publisher font).
Now I will have a dilemma which I should use because both are beautiful – first I probably try to use the smaller one…

Again - thank you very much JSWolf

You are very welcome. The hinted version displays better and doesn't have the thin lines because of the hinting. When using a small font size, the font looks very nice. On a Kindle, the one thing I really like is that the line space is not too big and that makes things more comfortable to read (to me). I don't own a Kindle, but many on MR do and It's nice to be able to fix up the font so it works well with Kindles and ADE and most ePub readers.
