Yes, but when the css is pointing to fonts in the ebook,you can alter it on your device as much as you want,it will not use them.
When it does used the fonts in the reader,and patching cannot be done,the only simple way to get to your goal is by changing the fonts in your book.
That is why I change the fonts in the conversion progress to Calibre 30 and change the lines in the .css for font weight into bold, or into : font-weight: 900;
By pointing to fonts in the book and convert them into darker in the .css you bypass the fonts used in the reader and can make them heavier,because for now it is impossible to do it with the reader,
the advantage of doing it "my way" is that the books will look the same in a non kobo reader.
Changing and embedding fonts in the ebook instead of the reader and force the reader to follow this,gives full access to the fonts no matter if they are patched or not in the device and make them "universal" for every reader.
yes it takes some space in the reader because the books are a bit bigger,but you can gain that most of the time by removing covers from the book and replace them.
I change the most of the time full colour covers,sometimes 3 times bigger then the resolution of the reader can display into one with 16 shades of grey ( no.. not an 18+ book
) compensating,make them even smaller then the bigger space they use for the embedded font.
If the mountain... because like you said : the advanced fonts feature is disabled for user fonts, and is currently unavailable via patching for 3.11.
Editing the build in fonts means you have to replace them again when the patch will come,if not in this,then in another version.
With other words,by converting the books the way that the fonts are already more heavvy, you don't need a patch for it,and they look the same on every reader you use..
/rethinking that,maybe it is possible to find a more heavvy font that fit your needs,rename it and put it back on the device ??
