For example, in firmware 3.12.1 there were 40 font size settings ranging from 12 to 90 and including size 25. Then in 3.13.1 the scale was increased to 48 sizes ranging from 12 to 150 for the HD devices, but although the spacing of the new scale as more uniform overall, it didn't include a size 25. So if you had a book set to font size 25 I think it would have been changed during upgrade, to 24 or 26.

With this firmware version, if you had any books set to use Gothic or Ryumin fonts then their settings will be changed to use the replacement Kobo UD Kakugo and Kobo Tsukushi Mincho fonts instead.
No, the font settings aren't changed during the upgrade. If it was set to 25, 25 will continue to be used until you make a change. You could always go in and change the settings in the config file or database and choose other options [insert ad for Kobo Utilities plugin] and they would be used.

I'm not so sure about the actual fonts. Again, they don't change the settings, but I don't know what happens when you open a book. It could change to whatever is the default, or it could use the matching replacement font. But, whichever it does, happens when you open the book.
