I've started fixing the kerning. I've noticed some of the kerning tables don't match so I've begun sorting them.

@Vakke, I'v e cleaned up most of the obvious kerning that needed fixing that I noticed while reading. I have a couple more pairs to fix. Then I can copy over the kerning tables to the less space version.
After both are done, I can make versions with hinting for Kindles. And from there make weighted versions. I'll add them to the first post and you can then delete the ones you've attached. Sound good? I'll get this done this week. |

New versions of ChareInk based on version 6 have been posted in the first post of this thread. The other versions attached are obsolete.

I changed to Chareink Noweight on your recommendation a while back and love it. Would I benefit from using one of the new versions instead? (and if so which one - there are quite a few to pick from) Thank you ![]() |

The Chareink6SP is the best for me, though I'm not clear why. It just has a more satisfying look
![]() I've added the Hinted ones to the fonts folder too to see how they look, but for some reason unknown to me the reader does not pick them up. They're added as Chareink6SPH etc and Chareink6H etc to differentiate them, but it's not having any! ![]() Last edited by Ned; 02-01-2023 at 10:38 AM. |

Thank you.
I have some doubts about hinting and kerning in Kobo. If I understand correctly, Kobo can use fonts with or without hinting. But what happens, Kobo doesn't need hinting or it is not designed to take advantage of hinting? Is Kobo, out of the box, capable of using kerning or does it require something to be installed or tweaked? |

As for Kerning, reading ePub works with kerning without having to do anything. KePub does not work with kerning by default. There is a setting you can put in the config file to have kerning on. I'll have to look up what that is when I get a chance and post it here unless someone else beats me to it. |

On a Kobo, you won't notice a difference between the hinted and non-hinted versions. |
