Kobo's font rendering problem... have they fixed it?
I have a Kobo Aura HD and I'm currently running 2.5.1 (or possibly 2.8.1) Firmware on it because I hated the 3.0 update so much. The font rendering changed dramatically and it appeared that the anti-aliasing for all text across the entire interface had been changed for some reason.
I've upgraded again a couple of times since then but each time I saw that the same problem was there. From various posts on the web with screenshots of the latest devices it seems as though the issue still exists.
For comparison, here's an image showing what I mean. Nobody else seems to be able to tell the difference, but to my eye the rendering of Georgia across these two examples could not be more different. The newer version, on the right, appears to have completely different anti-aliasing, and the letterforms appear squished and deformed.
I'm hoping and praying that one day it goes back to how it used to be. Has anyone else noticed this problem, or has it been fixed since I've been banished back to downgraded Firmware, never to sync over WiFi again?
