This made a huge difference in font sharpness on my Aura.
I am using Helvetica Neue (nearest I can get to Helvetica on PW1) but am having the same problem and would love to add weight to the font instead of resorting to changing Regular for Bold. I've installed FontForge but haven't worked out how to use it.

I would like to add my plea for a tutorial for font customisation.
