I can well imagine.

As you seem to have very little understanding of font file technicalities I shall not let what's clear to you that worry me in the slightest.

It shouldn't be a great surprise that a font (Bookerly) created specifically for Amazon reading apps and Amazon proprietary (undocumented) ebook formats may not work as-is in a Kobo proprietary ebook format (kepub) in a Kobo proprietary reading app (Access).
This perfectly illustrate your almost complete lack of understanding of defined file format standards in general.

The True Type and Open Font file types are long and well established and are used by hundreds of millions of people.

Only software written by a complete muppet would require special tweaking to work with a font that works properly on Windows, Kindle, (Apple [and hence Unix]), and lord knows what else.

Even if that was the case here, it would not explain why the font displayed perfectly well for two books, and then failed for ALL books, including the two it previously worked on.

Based on your attitude in the last few posts, I can't think of a worse way of going about it. I've heard enough, I'm off.
Don't let the door catch you on the way out.
