I'm curious: The renderer in the Kobo Desktop app is essentially nickel and I don't know how Kindle Previewer works, but would they use Freetype like their eink counterparts or would they use whatever Windows uses? It would be nice to test fonts on the desktop without having to set up an emulator (I know one exists for koreader, but I'm not aware of similar for Kobo and Kindle proper; correct me if such things exist), especially to find out if they ever get around to fixing the current weirdness with Bookerly (and yeah, I understand the final output is an LCD so it'd still be comparing apples to oranges, but oh well).
