Thanks for those tests, Peter.

So, to summarise:
  • Take your favourite sideloaded font family (with good coverage of your required character sets), which normally looks a bit lightweight on the Kobo, especially with the frontlight on.
  • Rename the 4 font files, inside and outside (using a font editor), as Delima or Rockwell or Felbridge or Times New Roman (maybe others???).
  • Sideload to \fonts and reboot Kobo.
  • Use your favourite font just like a fully adjustable Kobo font.
  • Keep fingers crossed, they don't remove the option in the next fw update
Sounds like a nice new trick for those who need it and who have access to a font editor. I'll double-check later with a couple of my favourites.

Update: Yes, it seems to work OK.
