Reading the EULA it looks like it's safe to distribute the unmodified files, as long as

It's been available at sourceforge for almost a decade, and they're normally pretty good with IP infringement. On the other hand, a modified Georgia would clearly be against the EULA. |

I Pretty much stop looking for fonts. I have enough. I have Four fonts on my Kindle. Amasis is various sizes, Caecilia in two sizes with weight added and Palatino resized smaller and made taller with weight added and.... ....The font I use the most is surprise, Trebuchet. I went back and upsize by 2% and added more weight. I got mine from my Kindle Fire so it was already optimized for eReading. I love this font! For a dyslexic like me it's really helps me to read more. I have read for hours and hours in the past week (I broke my pinky toe and I am laid up) without any side effects I once had with the other fonts where I had to take breaks. So I am pretty much done with playing with fonts. I have found the font that let's me enjoy my Kindle to the fullest. I still have the two font sets (Gentium Book & Charis SIL) I offer through PM but please do not ask me to share any other fonts I have shown in this thread. I can't.

I use this font on my KF but it's too skinny on the PW so a little editing and now it's perfect. I'd take a pic of it on the PW if I could but seeing I am pretty much immobile till this toe heals I can't even go looking for the camera. The black and white screenshot does not do it justice though. |

One thing I noticed is that having extra fonts does take up space. So if you have too many fonts it can gobble up HD space on the Kindle quickly.

For my next project, I'm going to give a try to Gentium SIL and see how I like it compared to Charis SIL.
