learned (sideloading is actually putting manually stuff on the internal memory)
When I wanted a monospaced font, I used the Dark Courier font I downloaded from HP's site (lj611en.exe). I had to rename the 4 fonts files that were extracted. The internal font name was Dark Courier so I renamed the 4 font files as follows:

dour45w.ttf => Dark Courier-Regular.ttf
dour46w.ttf => Dark Courier-Italic.ttf
dour65w.ttf => Dark Courier-Bold.ttf
dour66w.ttf => Dark Courier-BoldItalic.ttf


After added those files to the fonts folder on my Kobo and power cycling the Kobo, I was able to use those fonts to display computer/teletype style text.


And yes, resetting or power cycling after adding a font is necessary unless you are very fond of "interesting results".

David
