Dalton Maag font bold issues
I downloaded the renamed Bookerly font called Dalton Maag from this forum a few months ago, as its modification to allow bolding without the annoying font spacing issues with bold Bookerly sounded great. However, while the spacing issue was solved, there seems to be some sort of bug with it, as when I have Dalton Maag on size 3 and bolded, the bottom margin seems to be higher up after each chapter beginning. It's very strange, as this doesn't happen if I increase the boldness in the middle of a chapter. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There's no way to know what's going on without looking at the font. But as the font is not legally able to be posted here, that's not going to happen.

Obviously we (myself included) didn't report the font when we should have. It's now reported.

Why is the font illegal? Is it breaking some kind of copyright?

Dalton Maag, as the OP said, is a modified Bookerly font. As the copyright info in the original Bookerly font says:

Quote:
Copyright 2013-2018, Amazon.com, Inc. or it's affiliates. Modification or redistribution of this file requires prior written permission from Amazon.com, Inc.
If you look at the modified files, the copyright notice was also modified.

Thanks. I guessed it might be something like that, but wasn't sure. Grateful for the clarification.
