I do the procedure below in every font I want to use on my Kobo's.

1. Open the FontForge program.

2. Load your font.

3. Ctrl+Alt and select all the font letters.

4. Select Elements / Style / Font Weight

5. In Embolden by: you must select a number in .em. The values of 35-50 I think is the right choice if you don't want to exceed too much the boldness of the characters. In Counters: select Squish. This controls the background between the character and its border. In that case, the character bolding it self, but the borders remain the same.

6. Hit OK.

7. Select Font Info and rename all the names here. (Fontname, Family name, Name for humans). This eliminates the chance to conflict the name with a font name already loaded on your reader.

7. Hit OK.

8. Select File / Generate Font.

In every window appears, just hit Generate and Save.

Load your new ttf. on your reader and ...enjoy.
