There is a difference in the Compact version of Charis. You will find some letters smooshed together. Look at words like too or Good on the different fonts you will notice a slight difference in the Kerning. It's enough to bother me. I prefer regular Charis with the Line spacing modified. |

It is about choice, not extra space. Jon can distribute both at the same time, and you put the one on PW you intend to keep. (Tight line spacing or a little bit bigger). I agree though, that it should be the same font - my eyes are not trained to see the difference you see with kerning.

Can Type Light 3.2 also change weight? If so, I'd try it. I've tried the program, but I am too inexperienced with programs such as these to be able to find the function

![]() You can also resize a font but you need to understand how EM unit size works. The Paid version can change weight the site says. Last edited by Blossom; 02-06-2013 at 02:50 PM. |

I know how em-units work.
If I can't keep using my educational license for FontCreator after I finish this course, then I'll stick with DejaVu Serif. I'm not going to pay for a program that I'll use maybe one or two times in the coming years. I like DejaVu Serif, Verdana, and Caecilia enough to not continually edit other fonts.

I think I am finally there!
Tonight I was going through some backups and came across some back ups of my phone. Inside was one of the folder where I had the Nook app installed back when they used the font Amasis. I compared it to the Amasis I had been using which is old version from one of my font discs and I was shock at how different the Nook's version was. So I added some weight and up it by 5% and I am in love! ![]() I really love how sharp and crisp it in to read with. The version of Amasis MT is more rounded and bubble looking but this is really nice and readable. I really have no clue why Nook stop using it. ![]() Now I am through with playing with fonts. Really I am this time! ![]() I have all the fonts a person needs to read with: Caecilla Medium, Caecilia Condensed, Amasis, Amasis Condensed, Charis SIL, Gentium Book, Palatino Medium, Trebuchet, TheSans and Nokia Pure. Ten fonts should be plenty right? ![]() |

I think if I keep reading this thread I'm going to die of analysis paralysis.

You will be reading this thread instead of books. What fun!
![]() I'm just lucky to suddenly remember DejaVu Serif to be a free front, and I like it after it's made a bit fatter. So I've also found my "looks more like a book"-replacement of Caecilia. |

It's a pity you can't share your version of Amasis - it sounds wonderful.

How do I make my books on KFHD use these fonts? The Paperwhite seems to be better on most books without me changing them. |

You don't with the KFHD. You can with the Kindle PW or the Kindle Touch. It seems to me that the Kindle apps are rather lackluster and feature poor.
