The new Charis SIL 6 font has many TrueType intructions but I'm not sure what they mean. I'm able to use AutoHinting so my guess is that the font doesn't have it automatically. I read from the manual that if the font has instructions it should also be hinted to avoid any problems. After this I'm actually not sure at all what the default font has

I also have Kobo Libra 2 so I cannot test how the font looks on Kindles or any other devices.

Let me know how it looks from the experts eye and let's see can it be made better easily!
I'll try it on my PW3. I can do so tomorrow and also try it on my Libra 2, I use ttfautohint to add hinting. I know it works well.
