The link is for a copyrighted Microsoft Georgia font.

This may be a malware.

Reported to the mods.

I changed the information, so that the system will default to use this font, no need to switch.

If you do not believe, do not install.

It's not a question of believing; it's an issue of ensuring that copyrighted material is not shared here.

This was your first post.

It leads to what appears to be copyrighted material. That is very, very not ok here.

Your post has all the hallmarks of being a malware spam.

Here is Open Sans, I even corrected it for Kobo Kepub and eInk. Just put it to /fonts folder.

http://drop.muratcansimsek.com/OpenSans.zip

I don't know why anyone would ever want to use an UI typeface for text reading, but here it is. But there are much better sans-serif typefaces for reading, like Kobo's own Gill Sans and Avenir.
