I have recently gotten access to Adobe Font Folio at work and have been converting a few of these for use with iSilo. But the conversions really don't look very good on my Tungsten E, and I am converting them for hires (320x320 display, 144 dpi). Not sure how to go about getting screenshots to show you, but at the smaller display sizes they are very pixelated and can be difficult to read... I like the basic display font, but I'm trying to get a nice small serif font for ebooks. I've tried some of the earlier posted fonts, but was not totally satisfied.
Is there a way to somehow 'optimize' the font making process?? Do some fonts just not lend themselves to translation? Does anyone have insight on this? |

Or perhaps another way to think about this would be, is there an easy way to preview how a windows font will look at 144 dpi? This seems to be the problem. I like to view text at the "smaller" size usually, to fit in as much as possible (though "smallest" is usually just too small for my eyes). But the process of convert, hotsync, test, repeat is tedious. The device font is pretty good for most things, but I would love something better...
