Open access resources (1) – Adapting fonts for E-Ink – chrome|e|reader_

"This is the first post in a series of posts on open-access resources to meet different e-reading needs. I wish to dedicate the first post to fonts. Previously I posted about problems in rendering fonts for E-Ink. The biggest problem, in my opinion, is the weighting of the font for better legibility. Thus even if a font is readily available, it might need some adaptation to work with an E-Ink display. A good option is to first adapt your selected font for E-Ink through ‘FontForge’ (an open source font editor). I found increasing a font’s weight by an increment of ten works best."
