I would appreciate if someone would try my modified Charis SIL on a PW and get a screen shot of shut so I can have a look. Thanks.

Edit: Never mind, see next post. They look good. I like how the aa works on these on PW - that should be really smooth on 212ppi eink Last edited by DuckieTigger; 01-10-2013 at 10:23 PM. |

Here you go, JS Wolf. I had to rename the files before they would show up on my PW. (Charis SIL Regular.ttf, Charis SIL Bold.ttf, etc).
First picture is with font set to second to the smallest; second picture set to fourth from smallest. Both with line spacing set at medium |

Gotta say, MT Chinese Surrogate looks amazing on the PW. So dark and refined even on the smallest setting. Thanks Duckie for the ALT FONT tip!

I tried it but the words were spaced funny in my book using it. I'm gonna add John's font. Right now I am using Amasis Modified for the eInk. I love we can add more than one font though.

Blossom, would you mind sharing where you got your Amasis from? I downloaded Amasis MT but the text came out looking a little thin on my PW.

There is floating around some different weight modified for eInk Georgia fonts. I have them and I have tried them on a Kindle Touch. They didn't look good. The text was on not even. Some of the letters were higher then others. It was not a pretty sight. If anyone sees these fonts, just pass them by.
