I'm on a Kobo Clara HD and font size is the one mentioned in the Kobo eReader.conf file.

I am using the non weighted version since Kobo's advanced font options seem adequate enough to get the job done.

Sorry for what might seem like a noob question, but what's the difference between the SP and non SP versions of the NoWeight files? I am guessing one has the smaller spacing, but is that what SP stands for? Not sure why it's not SS, but perhaps I'm being pedantic (or it's my ADHD coming through)

you are correct int hat the SP version has a smaller space. That's the one I use. I used SP to stand for space. I didn't think of SS. It's been SP for all this time so it stays as SP.

Thanks for your post. I've edited the first post to say that ChareInk6SP is the version with the smaller space.

Thank you for this! By far my favorite ebook font. I track the first post for changes just in case there're any updates (not that it needs any, it's perfect).

You are very welcome!

Thank you for this font. I’ve been using this for a couple of weeks and really looks great on my Kindle Colorsoft!

I just noticed that a few days ago, Charis SIL got updated to version 7. Any plans on carrying over your tweaks to this? https://software.sil.org/charis/v7changes/

I grabbed it when it was released and so far I like it on my Kobo ereaders.

Thank you for letting know that Charis has been updated.

It seems to be a perfect drop in replacement for the CharInk6SP with almost no changes required.
