Until that post, you have been feeding us information in disconnected bits and pieces the same way a young child would.
The "tone" is from your expecting us to be able to read over your shoulder or channel into your mind.
Is there anything else that you have done that lead up to this situation, that you have not yet mentioned?
Please don't make me continue to ask you a question about each and every point along the route.

I'm not
making you do anything - I didn't even ask for help, from you or from anyone else. I simply made a statement that, for me, the font hack wasn't working on my KV running firmware 5.8.5. I don't know if me stating that is some kind of personal affront to you, but you seem to be acting like it is, which I just find utterly baffling.
Anyway, of your own volition -
not at my request - you then leapt in with your patronising "check your work" routine. You could have just typed "Did you install Python before the font add-in?" or "Were these (link) the instructions you followed when installing it?" Or, you know, maybe not even have replied at all, since I hadn't asked for assistance. There's a lot of things you
could have done, in fact, that would have been infinitely preferable to what you actually
did.
Similarly, with your second response - I've taken the time to respond in details to the questions YOU asked, and explained about your tone in the (obviously forlorn) hope that how your earlier post came across was a misunderstanding on my part. What do I get in response? An accusation that I am communicating with you in the manner of a young child.
On top of that, you then claim that I'm expecting you and/or the rest of the community to "read over [my] shoulder or channel into [my] mind". Again, for clarity - I didn't ask for help from anyone here, I made an observation about what had happened to me. You're basically insulting me for making an unclear request for help -
despite my not having made a request for help! Unsurprisingly, I tend not to take kindly to strangers berating me for things I haven't actually done.
I'm certainly not making you continue to ask questions, either - whether you do so is entirely up to you. I've not sought your help in this case, and yet here you are, complaining about it and attempting to belittle me about it. Your responses, by the way, have actually gone some way to dissuading me from seeking help here in the future, if I'm totally honest. I would suggest, however, that if you'd like further information from anyone here, you might start or a far more polite footing?
I'm an infrequent poster, but a long-standing member of this community, and I am extremely disappointed to have been on the receiving end of your behaviour - it isn't something I've witnessed here before, and I wouldn't wish it on myself or anyone else. As such, I've felt obliged to report your post (the second time I've had to do this in 24 hours, as it happens, although I've yet to receive a response from a moderator) as I feel you are being incredibly rude and condescending, and you appear to be incapable of recognising this. Your second reply here, for me, completely underlines that.
(EDIT: It now transpires, from the post you made whilst I was typing this, that the font hack won't work with firmware 5.8.5 yet - so it's not a case of user error at all, which makes the hullaballoo on your part here - to my eyes at least - even more needless than it was already).
