This made a huge difference in font sharpness on my Aura.
So if the cause of the Aura's fuzzyness compared to the Glo is the fonts, then does that mean the Aura is using different fonts to the Glo?

Edit: I guess the way to test is to add the improved custom fonts to a Glo as well and compare again.
