Thank you very much.

ChareInk was born from Charis SIL version 5.0. I didn't like Charis SIL 5's wide line height and I wanted to add kerning. Also because some devices/programs do not have an option to increase the weight of fonts, I made a weighted version and released both the weight and unweighted version. Then because of Bookely in later Kindle firmware version not displaying Bookerly all that well at smaller sizes because of lack of hinting, I added hinted and released that version as well. On a Kobo, RMSDK and Access both work with the hinted and non-hinted versions.

Would you mind testing if hinted or non-hinted works better or makes no difference for KOReader? I've yet to install KOReader to give it a go so I am waiting for the January, 2021 stable version.
