Remind me - do I need to restart my PW when I load on new fonts?

So, who has tried the new Charis SIL Modified with KF8 and likes or dislikes the line spacing?

Just tried it. it's awfully small - I had to be on the third icon from the right to get it to a readable size, which looks to be about 8pt text. The next jump up was huge.
The line spacing looked good - I could have the line spacing on the middle icon and still found the text readable; when i was using Caecilia, I had to have the line spacing on the largest line spacing for my book to be readable with tired eyes. Other than that, it's a nice, dark, clear font. If the sizing could be fixed, I would have no problem using it. |

I haven't tried it on the PW but something is wrong with the regular version. It's blank when I open it. When I open it and try to use it in Word it's blank and while I can see the glyphs in Font Creator when I push test it's blank too. All the other ones work fine but the Regular (CharisSILR) is corrupted.

Thanks for your work, JSWolf. I really do like CharisSIL. For me, the line spacing is good.
I installed your modifed font on my Kindle Keyboard and it worked fine on a mobi file but not the KF8- it displayed using the default serif font. I went back to Calibre, converted the mobi to KF8 embedding the font in the process. That worked. Tomorrow, I'll try your latest version. I didn't realize there was a potential problem with the version I used until now. Anyway, here's a side-by-side of the mobi/KF8 on the KK: |

This is my version but our metrics are exactly the same, I think mine has a tad more weight then yours.
