Difference in font rendering between Nickel and Koreader

cerem0ny · Yesterday, 09:17 PM

Hey guys,
Really enjoying koreader here. I just have a quick question.

Why does the same font at the same size in Nickel (stock launcher) vs Koreader look so different? In Nickel for example, Garamond just seems to look so thinner and less clear, also at smaller sizes it starts to look a little broken, with certain parts bolder and what not. I use the in built font weight editor in Nickel and then it starts to embolden certain parts of the letter and looks totally broken. Koreader, the font looks great at all sizes.

Is there any way to get the fonts looking as great as they do on Koreader using the nickel launcher? The difference in the photos is very subtle but definitely there.

On a side note - how the FRICK do I rotate attached images??!!?? Apologies!!!

Hope this makes sense…
Cheers

You rotate them before you attach them?
