Firmware v3.11 does seem to have created a problem with Avenir Next (it was fine in v3.8). Amasis, Caecilia, Georgia, Gill Sans, Kobo Nickel, Malabar, OpenDyslexic all work correctly.

Kobos make no attempt to override whatever widows/orphans are set in each epub's css. In the absence of any epub setting the css standard default of 2 is used, I believe. If you want to force a particular setting and you're a calibre user have you tried
this option? A one-off task of creating a simple text file called kobo_extra.css on your Kobo hardly qualifies as hacking (IMHO). Having done it, all your epubs will have their widows/orphans set to exactly the values you've specified during the calibre send-to-device process with no effort from you required. No conversions, no individual editing. However, this wouldn't work if your epubs are DRM-infested.

Works OK for me in v3.11. Are you sure you remembered to select 'Document Default' from the font menu?

You may well be right about this. I don't use annotations so I wouldn't know.
