Favourite Fonts?
I'm curious what you'all are using on your devices. Personally, I'm all about serifs with distinctive arial fonts. EB Garamon, Roman Antique, Baskerville, Palatino...

No preference. Default fonts work for me.

As long as it is readable, I don't care.

I like Atkinson Hyperlegible. I don't usually need a lot of Unicode or have much non-English text to render so I don't know how well it does for that, though.

I don't like slab serif type fonts. They look really ugly.
My choice of font is ChareInkSP6 which can be found at https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=184056 |

I've settled on Caudex. I find it restful on the eyes, if that makes any sense.
