I have been working on a new test version of Charis SIL. Please have a look and let me know what you think. The new version is based on a newer version of Charis SIL. It has added weight, fixed metrics so it works well with Kobo & Kindle, and some kerning. Thanks.
Look for the last attachments in the thread for the latest test versions. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=184056 |

What's the recommended angle for Italic/oblique font? in FontForge the default it's (-13).

as far as i can remember in technical writings italic should be -15 (75 degrees). That is old measurement, may be something is changed in the meantime.

@sherman:
How did you access the embedded font PANOSE info to edit them? |

Set yer OS/2...
Hi Folks,
Just another little nugget of wisdom(???). So it turns out that the OS/2 table (not just PANOSE!) is kind of important. Applications (and Windows) can get all confused if the OS/2 fsSelection field (style basically), and usWeightClass (font weight) don't match the rest of the font. It's quite ridiculous to see just how many different ways there are to specify font names and styles in a single font! And there's nothing stopping conflicting values from occurring either. Sigh... another thing added to my font modifier program (which I'll release someday.... promise!) |

Goudy Old Style is an awesome font (see the link on page 1) for an ereader. You'd never guess it was so good looking at it in Windows.
It's displaced Georgia as my font of choice. It's just that bit neater and cleaner than Georgia. Highly recommended (I add a bit of a weight to it via the .conf file to make it better). |

Also no need to reverse engineer the Kindle update. There is a zip-file provided. Last edited by Dino84; 03-31-2017 at 02:20 PM. |
