The poll was started in 2018. Kobo removed Georgia and other fonts in 2024, starting with the Clara/Libra Colour and Clara BW.

I was confused with the poll options as well. It's very silly for someone to resurrect a 6 year old thread rather then start a new poll with the modern and applicable fonts.

Ah, so Kobo has removed fonts before. Good to know, thanks.

I loved the Malabar font on my Forma, and was sad to see it gone on the Libra Colour. I downloaded a bunch of fonts to try out from DaFont.com and settled on 'Billie Eilish' as the most readable for me.
If I HAD to use a preinstalled font, it would probably be Kobo Nickel. |

You can get it back by using kobopatch, if you want.

Mostly, I don't use the pre-installed fonts. For a long while, Georgia was my favorite of those, but my eyes must've changed a little, as I started drifting to either Amasis (that's what I voted for) or Literata. I have tended to shift between those two this past year.
Amasis was on my 2011 WiFi Nook when I started e-reading, and I've always found it easy to read. But my favorite these days is Literata. If I do use Georgia, it's side-loaded Georgia Pro, because I like my ligatures. |
