Average and Malabar look so much like each other, I couldn't tell that the font was changing when I resized the window. I had to meticulously compare their characters, find some that were different, then enlarge the text enough to make comparisons. When comparing them at the same size, I can see that Malabar is bigger and darker, which makes it good for the body font on mobile devices, but not so good for it on desktop monitors. Since Malabar has been my main font for reading books on my Kindle, its resemblance to the lighter, smaller Average is a good reason to stick with Average on the desktop. [Note: Unless you have Malabar installed, you will see Volkov when you shrink the window.]
