The first image is of the default font and all of the screenshots were taken with the brightness and contrast set to -60 and 60 respectively.



I found that Droid, Gentium Plus, Lexia DaMa and NimbusMod worked very well for me when compared to the default font.

Edit: And I just failed at posting pictures from my album.
I just looked at all of them. The default one looks the best.
