HAHAHA Well, I feel dumb. Not sure why I didn't catch that.

That is a change in the new firmware. The reset is now to the settings before you made the current adjustments, not to the original factory settings. As usual this change will probably please some and annoy others. I usually have the weight turned down, but after the firmware update I had to turn it up a bit to get back to my original settings. I think this is because they changed the range to allow heavier weights.
I am glad it wasn't just in my head that it reset to a default before, but I have to admit this really upsets me. I feel like goldilocks, I've spent way more time than I care to admit trying to get the font to where I can read comfortably and being able to reset to a default would help a lot. Ugh. And honestly it makes less sense to me this way, because at least before you could remember where the sliders were in comparison to the default for different sharpness and weight settings. Now it's all over the place.

Is there some way I can force them all to reset to defaults? So I can at least memorize where the sliders are and play with the settings against that? Maybe a pinhole reset, anything?
