This is where you show your almost complete ignorance of font technicalities.

I have created fonts from scratch, modified many and written a font manager for Windows so I do have a vague clue as to what I'm talking about.

Although it's quite true that a font may be commissioned for a particular device (or company or product) there is absolutely nothing in the process of creation that involves matching the font file to a particular device.

If you actually understood the nature of file standards you would also understand the absurdity of what you wrote above.

Now, it is quite true that it is possible that a badly structured file will work with some implementations designed to use it and not others. However, that is pretty much ruled out here by the fact that the file in question worked at one point and the stopped working for the same books.

Again, had you experience of software development these diagnostic insights would be second nature and you would not be wittering on about weirdly malstructured files when there is clear evidence that they are not.

Because it doesn't seem to work with Access on a Kobo is not Kobo's fault.

Believe that if you wish but you are deluding yourself. There is no way that a correctly working system will, with no interim changes made to any configuration, work with a file of this nature one minute and not work the next.

If the font file was incorrect for the Kobo it would not have been able to correctly render two books.

You need get a font editor and have a look at the font's settings to see what they are. It's possible something needs to be changed.

Sorry, that's just rubbish.

The way you are complaining is not doing you any favors.

Quite honestly I think you are the one who is not doing him/herself any favours. Continually making fairly dogmatic statements about something you clearly do not properly understand does your credibility no good at all.

And, I would add, that my complaint is long past. Bookerly is nice but there are perfectly good fonts built in. I just wondered is random font loss was a known problem with a work-round.

All the trash in this thread is the result of a couple of people who do not seem to really understand font technology trying to deflect blame way from a very minor fault in the Kobo. Fanboism at its worst.
