I did install extra fonts on my PW and I did find one I preferred to it's built-in fonts. I don't recall which it was now. This was on one of the Paperwhites, to try it out. I went back and forth between the two Paperwhites for a while and soon decided that, while I did prefer the new font the difference was so small it was hard to really care. I've since removed it because I prefer my devices to be stock.
I've been reading about the new Kobo Aura and wondering if that might be something I'd like even better. I really like the idea of the flush bezel. I may eventually get one to try it out. I haven't decided yet. What holds me back are two things: the Amazon ecosystem is just so good that no-one can compete with it. And that the Paperwhite is so very good that even if I like the Kobo better, who cares! 
I realize I'm jaded. The Paperwhite is perfect and I find myself lusting for perfecter. Should I give in to that?

Have you read about some people having a hash pattern issue on the new Kobo when reading in the sun? Something to be aware of. Also some people have had light leaks. You can read about it on the New Kobo Aura Impressions Thread here:
