Add OTF (OpenType with CFF outlines) versions of Fast Atkinson Hyperlegible fonts in Regular, Italic, Bold, and Bold Italic styles. These fonts work out-of-the-box on older Kindle devices (pre-5th generation) that may have better OTF support than TTF.

Features:
- OpenType format with PostScript Type 2 (CFF) outlines
- Better compatibility with older Kindle devices
- Same speed-reading features as TTF versions (~40% bold emphasis per word)
- Explicit language system support (latn, grek, cyrl)
- Proper PANOSE classification for sans-serif font preview display

Note: For newer Kindles (5th gen+), use the TTF versions from PR Born2Root#42. These OTF files are primarily for older devices or users who prefer OTF format.

Closing this PR in favor of #44 which includes the Fast Atkinson fonts as part of a comprehensive Kindle-optimized font collection with complete 4-variant families, proper metadata, and additional font families (Fast OpenDyslexic, dotted variants).
