I used Literata Book for a long time, but a couple of months ago I switched to Lexia DaMa and it's my preferred font now.

Thanks so much.

I also realised that
while some fonts' weight (bold darkness level) can be configured, some fonts' weight can not be configured..

What is the reason and what format does the fonts need to be to be configured their weight as more bold/darker or softer?

Built in fonts can be adjusted using advanced font control.

By default, sideloaded fonts don't have access to advanced font control. But if you learn to patch, you can give all fonts access to advanced features.

Honestly, I don't understand why sideloaded fonts don't have advanced features by default. The decision mystifies me.

It has been explained before. The built-in fonts have been modified to work properly when doing this. And Kobo are the people who added the coded needed to do this to Qt. But, there is no guarantee that it will work with other fonts. It might not have changed just because it hasn't been important enough, but, if it doesn't work, then it is a problem. And the support issues can be enough of a reason not to enable it for all fonts.

If you know what you are doing and where to get the tools, you can pull the fonts from Kindle firmware.

Thank you so much for the advise @JSWolf As I don't have kindle and all the goodies can be found online, no need to do the work from the scratch...

Have you had a good look at Kobo Nickel and how overly wide the line height is due to an error in the metadata?

Kobo Nickel has been broken at least since I got my H2O. The font would be good if Kobo bothered to fix the metrics.

As ZodWallop said, let them have their favourite. Not everyone wants a font that has spacing between the lines.

And it would always be good when you make these claims to actually say what you think is wrong. And no, "fix the metrics" isn't good enough. Maybe for font buffs, but the rest of use probably don't know what you mean.
