Fontforge is the only free program I know of to do this. There is a Windows compile that craps out if you even breath. So that's worthless. You can try to run it under Cygwin. If that fails, you'd have to do so under Linux. |

That's good news. I am looking forward to seeing a screen shot of this. Would it be possible to show a photo of the screen as a screen capture doesn't show anything better then my laptop or desktop monitor does and doesn't really show how it looks on a PW2.

Linux long gone here...
![]() Thanks Jon, I 'll see what I can do with Fontforge. My first try was not brilliant, Fontforge does not seem to like Trebuchet as much as I do. Anyone knows another font that would have this 1930's typical kind of typography ? Quote:

Thanks for that. The new Charis SIL Bold does look pretty good on a PW2. The problem (to me) with LexiaDaMa is that it look like Caecilia and that is a font I dislike. It's like reading a variable width version of Courier.

Oh, if you like, I can bump up the regular and italic versions a bit and leave the bold as is if that would make it any better to you.

I can understand that. Everyone has different tastes. I personally like Caecilia Condensed and currently I modify my books to convert all text to bold but don't embed or specify any fonts. Then on my PW2 I select Caecilia Condensed. Hopefully one day soon we will be able to put our own fonts on the PW2 so I don't have to modify my books. I guess I got used to Caecilia Condensed from all the years of reading on Kindles.

for the pw2, I am using tweaked franklin gothic, bold and condensed. Not the most aesthetically pleasing, but readable.

Anyways, your bold modded charis for the the PW looks really nice. I would say it is now my second favourite after my own modded caecilia. I did notice though that your modded charis takes quite alot of bytes - my original file went from 300 kb to 2.2 mb by embedding your charis. This might affect anyone who has a large library and only 2 gb to use on their PW. |
