It looks as if Kobo allow built-in fonts old & new to have access to the Advanced button. I wonder if it's deliberate or a happy accident
I *think* it's based solely on the name of the font; not sure whether it's the external or internal. I took the Amasis font from 1.9.17, used Type Light 3.2 to rename it both internally and externally to Masis. The Glo correctly sees Masis as a font, but does not offer the Advanced Settings.

I suppose a fuller test would be to take Delima and repeat the experiment with that; making a new font called Elima.

** And YES... the new font named Elima is NOT adjustable; whereas the original 1.9.17 Delima IS.
