So now freetype library (font rasterization software Kindle devices use) switches to "autohinting" mode and letters got uneven heights, especially with non-Latin characters.

I had to stop lurking the forums and make an account just to say, THANK YOU! This has been driving me insane. The font looks like crap now with uneven heights. I knew something was up when the letters "w" and "i" no longer aligned, the "i" appears shorter than nearly every other character.
I just can't figure out why 1 book still renders the text correctly...
