Hi

After some months without trying Koreader (github is not well received everywhere), I tried the latest nightly (30.04) on my Kobo Glo. There have been some nice progresses. Here are two wishes:

1. - Adjusting font-weight
I still miss the possibility to use a slightly darker font for reading. I tried side-loading some Kindle fonts (the difference with normal ones is that they look nearly like semi-bold on Linux) but they just appear like normal ones on Koreader.

Is there any hope that Koreader one day implement such a feature? On my Kobo eReader.conf file (v. 2.8.1.), I can read

Spoiler:

In Koreader, there is no default setting for font-weight that we can adjust, and, I think this kind of feature is missed to allow a comfortable reading.

2. - .lua files
Koreader creates a new .lua configuration file for each new book and puts it in a new folder on KoboeReader. Visually, it quickly takes a lot of place. Would it be possible to stack all these new .lua files in a single folder?
