Hi, sorry to butt in on the thread, but I had a similar issue today and this post caught my eye. I had switched to "Gothic" on on the Glo, then couldn't get it off "Gothic" no matter what I chose. It then proceeded to lag and struggled to go into Sleep mode (and did not display the cover). I never thought of a power off/power on, I went right to paper clip reset. THAT reset ALL my settings (when it hadn't before after a paperclip reset), but luckily I keep a copy of my Kobo ereader.config file so I didn't have to redo everything.

Is there an issue with the "Ryumin" and "Gothic" fonts?
That sounds like what I have seen. There seems to be something going on when switching the fonts and Gothic and possibly Ryumin are used. After a few changes, the font gets stuck. Changing then on the dialog schanges the options and shows the changing font message, but the text doesn't change fonts. Changing to another book doesn't fix it. I need to restart the device to get it working properly.

This has happened enough that I know something is wrong, but not enough to pin it down. I am sure that Gothic has to be one of the fonts, but I am not sure about Ryumin. I'm also not sure how many font changes are needed or if there is an order of changes that causes it. I have reported it to Kobo.
