Low-vision fonts
Somebody I know came across this link for a hyper-legible font designed for people with low vision: https://www.brailleinstitute.org/freefont/#download

There's instructions for computer use; I'm wondering if it's loadable on an ereader. Has anyone tried it?

Downloaded .zip-archive, extracted files and copied them to the .fonts-folder of my Kobo Clara 2E. Works without issues, but I can't see many advantages in relation to my custom font (Bookerly).

For low vision, sans-serif is better then serif. There's a big difference between this font and Bookerly. Bookerly is not a good at all for low vision.
