Bookerly Font
I have a bookerly font loaded onto my Libra Colour. It looks nice but I have noticed that text that should be italicized is actually showing at bold. The regular text also is a little faint in appearance.

Has anyone found a good bookerly font that works properly and seems weighted properly?

Get the Bookerly font from the latest Kindle firmware. You will need to find where Kindle Tool is attached. I cannot say.

There has been discussion about this in the past. I don't remember exactly, but in my case, renaming helped.
The regular names of the fonts are:
Code:
Bookerly.ttf
BookerlyBold.ttf
Bookerly-Bold-Italic.ttf
BookerlyItalic.ttf
I renamed them (partially) into:
Code:
Bookerly.ttf
Bookerly-Bold.ttf
Bookerly-Italic.ttf
comletely eliminating
Code:
Bookerly-Bold-Italic.ttf
Don't ask me for what a reason. This solved, however, my problems.
Good luck!

What happens when a character should be bold and italic?

Don't know, but I never needed this feature ever since I did the changes (some 5, 6 years ago).

I appear to have edited it to Bookerly-Bolditalic.ttf, but I don't know if it works or not.

I remember well to have tried this, but, due to very limited technical abilities, did not succeed, and resigned to the workaround above mentioned.
