Modified Sabon font for Kindle

raghiid · 12-21-2020, 02:55 AM

Hi,

Here's a modified Sabon font. I scaled it up, and made it bolder using FontLab. One of the best text fonts, just a pleasure to read with.

Sabon is not in the public domain, and so please do not post modified copies of it on MobileRead.

What you can do is post a diff file and as long as you have the same version that was modified, you will end up with the modified version.

From the screenshot, one thing that still should be modified (IMHO) is the metrics so the line height is less.

Apparently, they're not public domain so I won't be posting them again. As for the screenshot, the text is set to the widest spacing setting.
