It did not work for me, while all fonts I sideloaded can display Vietnamese characters only Bookerly can be used to display characters correctly in GUI, i.e. I have Georgia, Baskerville and Bookerly in /mnt/onboard/fonts/, having one of the first two in the folder would result in Kobo using them for the GUI. Renaming Bookerly into 01_Bookerly didn’t help as it would just load Baskerville (or Georgia if exists) instead. I think internal font name modification is required to avoid this.
