It completely broke Kobo Glo. I could open the books but no glyphs showed up after selecting the type, only an empty page. Nothing in the logs too.
That is what happens on my Glo with Kobo Tsukushi Mincho.

I just changed font within an ePub to "Kobo Tsukushi Mincho"; I saw the book change to the new font, but have no issues when I return to the main home screen.
All I have to do is open an ePub, select Kobo Tsuhushi Mincho, try to turn a page. The result is that the book closes and is marked as finished. If I try to open it again I get a blank page, and the only way to get the book working again is to switch to another font, close the book without trying to turn the page, and reboot the Glo.

I've checked my database, it is very large (I haven't done a factory reset for a long time) but it passes an integrity check and I have no problems at all after rebooting as long as I don't select Kobo Tsukushi Minsho. This happens whether I have patched the firmware or not.

Edit: And I should add that it is really no problem at all now that I know what causes it, all I have to do is never select the Kobo Tsukushi Mincho font and everything is fine.
