Depends on the hinting.

If a font has been "hand hinted" (usually for LCD screens), then chances are, they will look awful on the eink screen.

Case in point, The font designer of Alegreya uploaded a hand hinted True Type version of the font. I tried it on my Kobo. I removed it immediately because it looked terrible.
