I noticed in Koreader, if I change font hinting to "off" or "native" (same result), the text renders beautifully. If I leave it on Auto (which applies hinting), the fonts appear misaligned especially along the bottom. Some letters higher than others etc.
This is also exactly how they are rendered in the stock reader, leading me to believe it's also applying auto hinting. I much prefer using the stock reader, but now that I've seen how much better text can look in Koreader, I can't go back!
Is there a way I can turn it off in the stock reader?
This post seems to suggest I can edit the Kobo stylesheet, but I couldn't figure out how to do that haha
