I guess I think of fonts as a fixed set of glyphs. |

@ZodWallop: That won't answer your question entirely, but the main difference from v2 to v3 was the move to a natively variable font.
I don't recall massive glyph shape differences myself, but I didn't use v2 for long (and mostly not at the same weight and not on eInk devices). I don't think I ever used v1, though, but I may be mistaken. As usual, if you're happy with your current results, don't poke the bear . |

I’ve had a go with scriptoria and Literata book. Line spacing is the same as is font weight but the letters in scriptoria are closer together which I think I prefer. However “Th” in scriptoria loses part of the right hand top of the T as you would expect in ligatures and I assume does this in Literata 3 though I’ve not tried it. I like it. Thank you Duke5127.

Many thanks for your work! I've loaded this on my new Pocketbook Era and really like it! Need to get it on my Kobo readers next.
EDIT: Tried Scriptoria on my Kobo reader and my Kindle, but there's one tiny hiccup. Oddly, though it displays old-style figures on my Pocketbook reader, it does not do so on my Kobo with either epub or kepub format. Nor does it display old-style numbers on my Kindle. I've no clue why this should be, since the font clearly contains the old-style figures, unless it is the font file type. My Literata Book files are OTF, while Scriptoria files are TTF. I really like old-style figures, I find them much easier to read and more graceful, so I'll stick with Literata Book on my Kobos and Kindle and enjoy Scriptoria on my Pocketbook Era.
