For my own use I prefer a sans-serif font for dictionary display. |

Wasn't Charis (and Gentium) specifically designed to support Cyrillic and Greek character sets? I haven't tested myself, but the reason I tried out Charis in the first place is the wider support for character glyphs.

Incidentally, I'm not sure how you know if you have the e-ink Bookerly or the other. I'm just giving you the heads' up. |

My favorite font is Google's Literata Book, which can be freely shared. I'm not going to upload it here, but you can snag a copy from all over. Here's a link to the FontSquirrel page for it: Literata Book

I remember also a thread about preferred fonts in Kobo (or in general not specific for Kobo?), but I will answer here.
I use mainly Bookerly for epub, Merrywether and Bitter for Kepub. You can find Merrywether and Bitter in Google fonts but the second has been updated on its site and last time I checked was not still updated in Google fonts. For Epub I also love Literata. I use other fonts too, I like to change them and make experiments. You can find plenty of freely usable fonts for example in Google fonts: https://fonts.google.com/ In the SIL fonts project: https://software.sil.org/fonts/ In Tex Gire project fonts: http://www.gust.org.pl/projects/e-foundry/tex-gyre In the Latex archive fonts (not all available in the ttf or otf format): https://tug.org/FontCatalogue/ Last edited by ps67; 06-14-2020 at 01:54 PM. |
