I’m using the latest firmware (not including the one that just dropped yesterday).
I find pretty much every font I try looks better in Koreader with hinting off, but as an example I use EB Garamond Absinthe, Crimson Pro, ChareInk, Goudy Old Style etc.
I’ve tried stripping all hinting using FontForge. It’s no use, as Kobo will force autohinting to all unhinted fonts and mess them up. So in a way yes it doesn’t matter if the font is hinted or not- in the stock reader it’s forced on.
I can take some screenshots if necessary. But really all one needs to do to see the difference is turn them on/off in Koreader and see how much more even they render when turned off. When turned on, they become ”wobbly”, and look identical to Kobo’s stock reader.
