Follow-up ... after downloading Nook Amasis from Nook update v1.1

The results are mixed. The Turkish chars are now displayed correctly with the v1.1 Amasis. However, despite the filenames remaining the same (Amasis30...) I see that the font-weight of v1.1 is not as heavy as it was in v1.0.1.

I would say the Nook v1.1 Amasis looks more like the PRST1 Amasis, but the fact that the Nook font files are twice the size of the PRST1 font files may mean that the Nook is 'better' in some way. I don't know enough about how fonts work to draw conclusions.

For anyone interested in a comparative visual overview from a Windows PC, the 3 versions are, from left to right, Nookv1.0.1, Nookv1.1, PRST1.
