If I understand properly, the choice offered in the main Menu of koreader between Regular and Bold modifies the main font. For this reason, it should not switch suddenly from Regular to a full Bold. Who can use it this way? It's a pity you have no control over this emboldening process.

I intended some months ago to do what JS Wolf did with Charis Sil, using font-Forge and adding a small emboldening increment (3 to 5) but, for some reason, it generated too many mistakes and the end result was unusable.

edit: I'll make a new try with another tool.
