You can change the values used for "Lighter" "Default" and "Darker" to match your preference.

Thank you Ken & NiLuJe for your replies!
I try both solutions with no success...
First I was change the values of the default.lua with something beyond of 25 in DCREREADER_CONFIG_DARKER_FONT_GAMMA = 25 :
Code:
-- crereader font gamma
DCREREADER_CONFIG_LIGHTER_FONT_GAMMA = 10
DCREREADER_CONFIG_DEFAULT_FONT_GAMMA = 15
DCREREADER_CONFIG_DARKER_FONT_GAMMA = 25
I try with values of 30, 50, 100, 150, even 200, but the brightness are still the same as before...

Second, I leave the default.lua as it is and then I change the the hinting mode to 1 in koreader/data/cr3.ini and leave the CRe do its things. I use some sideloaded fonts and experiment with these with no effect at all...

Anyway, I can live with that...

Think I will try the manual way and I'll change the hinting on my fonts instead, but I don't know how I can do something like this. I'm very confusing with FontForge and it's autohinting options, or I'll seek the "semibold" approach (if I can do something like this, either...)
