What's New
In addition to the font changes listed below, this release also addresses a common complaint about "wobbly" fonts and an uneven baseline. If you have previously downloaded the font collection and are using it on a Kobo e-reader, it is highly recommended that you update to this release and replace the fonts on your device, as the font rendering is seriously improved with this release.
Updating Fonts
You can just copy and replace the fonts. If you are replacing existing fonts (e.g. from a previous release), please restart your device to make sure the latest version loads correctly.
What's Changed
- Libron replaces Readerly, which has been moved to the Extra Collection.
- NV Charis now includes a few small adjustments.
- This release uses the latest version of
kobo-font-fix, which guarantees that all KF fonts render more accurately on Kobo devices. For more information about this, please see this issue.
Tip
If you are using a Kobo device and reading books purchased from the Kobo Store or reading kepub files converted via Calibre, you should download the Kobo Collection (kobo-core-fonts.zip, kobo-extra-fonts.zip), which has fonts slightly altered for optimal kerning for the kepub renderer.
Learn more
For more information about the fonts, screenshots and how to install them, please consult the README. The FAQ also includes an entry on how to enable ligatures on Kobo devices, which is highly recommended.
License
Due to the nature of the OFL/libre licensing of the fonts, you may find these or the original fonts also excellent for embedding in your digital books in lieu of a commercial font, which may be prohibitively expensive to license if you wish to distribute your own epub files.
More info about licensing information can be found in the FAQ, which is part of the README.
