Hello,

I'm wondering is there a way to set Koreader to always use a default, specified font whenever opening documents? I've Googled a bit and have found some promising leads but I'm afraid to edit a text file without knowing the proper syntax or if I am editing the right place.

I found indication that Koreader uses embedded fonts by default? Everything I've ever opened with Koreader seems to use the same font, something with serifs. I would prefer to use the same font that the native Kindle reader uses.

I found mention in a Koreader thread that you can modify 'font_face' in 'frontend/ui/reader/readerfont.lua' but when I go to that section of readerfont.lua, 'font_face' is indicated as 'nil'--so I'm not sure if replacing 'nil' with something else would work, and if so what the correct format would be. Unfortunately this idea was not pursued in the aforementioned thread, and I think my question there would be off-topic; here seems more appropriate.

I know that I can change the font of individual documents once they're open in Koreader, but I would like them to open with my preferred font to begin with, without my intervention. Is this possible?
