Considering that firmware revisions are only taking away the fonts that are part of the system, and not side loaded - its a non-issue
Don't agree, not all fonts are legally downloadable, so you suggest: Kobo takes only system fonts away, not your sideloaded so you are not affected..
You can't always download them and sideloaded them.. (it's only theoretical what I say.. a principally question..)
With the Dutch version of the Sony prs-t1 and prs-t2/3 you could take a cheaper version that has only one font.. download of the others was not possible or legal.
But they give you the choice..do you want the model with the fonts,or don't.

That it happens more times (first time that I notest in 2 years that I notice Kobo had a font removed) is not really an excuse in my opinion.
Sure I don't make a case of it,i don't own so much money,but it is more a thought.. is it legal to remove something that you had when you buyed it ?
