What I mean is font gamma. For example, the CoolReader app. In the settings there's "font gamma", and this may dramatically affect the quality of fonts in the app. Btw it used to be opensource, idk if they have some open repo now.
Here are some pics.
Unfortunately I can't provide better pictures, but the problem is the following: with the default gamma even the pixels "inside" the lines of letters are not "maximum" black, they are dark grey with some occasional black elements. With increased gamma the letter does become a lot darker, and all the details that should be black, are black. This does not turn it into the bold font, just makes it crisper. If I set the font to bold with the default gamma value, it'll look dark, but still terrible.

Ah, no problem. However, after two days runing RelaunchX's browser doesn't see the filesystem even after the restart. Just shows empty folder /(0). Apps work fine and filebrowsers work as usual.
