I'm at a loss to explain it, but thanks anyway.
Sometimes I had to select the font menu and switch fonts to and back from Bookerly or Caecilia for it to work.

Also if you open a book you still might see the old font until you swipe several times to display the previous/following pages.

BTW, I only overrode code2000, maybe it doesn't work with other fonts.
What system font did you try to replace and what was the replacement font?

So the package testing for 5.8.* will install but will not work on something that is actually 5.9.*
Are there any significant hardware/firmware differences that might prevent the font hack from working on a Voyage/Oasis even if it works on my PW2 with the 5.8.5 firmware?

I.e., are there significant differences between the PW2 5.8.5 firmware and the Voyage/Oasis 5.8.5 firmware?
