Even those figures are too bold, and some characters don't respond at all, they're too light and look like they're from another font altogether. I lowered them down to almost nothing, and same thing.

Which font are you trying to fatten? Maybe I can have a go and see what happens...

Why don't you install the patch that gives you advanced font control over sideloaded fonts directly on the device? It works like a charm.

Font -> Validate -> Next -> select Fix detected problems -> Next Then there's still untoward behaviour but it's different. Maybe this will give you some ideas to work with. Sorry I can't offer you more assistance. |

Aw shucks! I've mixed feelings here, for sure! I was hoping it was just me, but I'm also glad it's not. This has happened with half a dozen fonts I've tried so far. Maybe I'll try it on some fonts I don't like and see how it goes.
Thanks for giving it a try! |

So easy and useful; I generally like my fonts a bit darker when the backlight is on, this gives me the flexibility to do just that. |
