Hi!

I just discovered that you can add your own fonts to the KT. I read the instructions on the KT and here on the forum, but I cannot get the fonts to show up.

I added a folder called "fonts" (lower case "f") in the .kobo subfolder, dragged my fonts into it (Arial, Bookman Old Style, Century Gothic, Comic Sans, Corbel, Maiandra GD, Palitino (sp?), and Verdana). I ejected the reader, powered it off (not sleep mode!), powered it back on and checked the font selection in both a sideloaded epub and a kpub. Nothing showed up.

When I dragged the fonts over, they "exploded" into individual font files, not the "collection" file that shoes up in my laptop fonts folder.

I'm running firmware .16.

Thank you for any help!

Update: Problem solved! I watched http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KU7JpaKlyMc and did it exactly as he showed and now it works!
