I'm pretty sure if you add the lines for your side-loaded font in your Kobo eReader.conf file that it will work to increase the thickness. Here's a scan of one of my favorite side-loaded fonts, Lexia DaMa, on the old firmware where it didn't make a difference adding the line, and on 3.11.0 where it is quite a bit thicker with the lines added.

These are the 2 lines I added for the Lexia DaMa font. I'm not sure the sharpness setting makes any difference anymore (but Kobo didn't remove it with the new firmware), and I also have GeoffR's patch installed, but again, not sure if that's required for this to work.

I'm currently out and don't have easy access to viewing the conf file but as soon as I am home I will check what I have there
I use that hack on my Glo and text is still perfect as before, I don't see any cutoffs at either end of the page. Maybe it depends on the font used? Or possibly a margin setting, I have mine set to 2 for left and right margins. But I've tried several different fonts last night, both system and side-loaded fonts, and didn't see it happen. On the Glo, we need 2 lines entered, maybe adding that 2nd line will help with other readers after this patch?
