Thank you for the font, but I'm still little bit disappointed that most of the standard fonts present in the device do not support cyrillic letters. Maybe Kobo people who read this forum can influence adding better support for non-latin scripts in future firmware updates?
Good to hear that it worked for you. One issue with font support is the size of the fonts when you start supporting large character sets -- the Charis SIL font takes about 6.8MB compared to 280KB for the average built-in Kobo font. The other is simply that Kobo does not, as yet, support Cyrillic and likely won't until they start selling in areas where the Cyrillic alphabet is in common use much as they added the Ryumin font to support Japan.

Regards,
David
