As i only read epubs, I don't have any benefit from the fast page turning feature.

A few question come to mind.

What firmware version were you using prior to the 4.8.10956 update?

What were your favourite fonts that disappeared when you installed the 4.8.10956 update?

What fonts no longer had the Advanced font controls option available after the update?

As for the publisher default fonts, those fonts were changed in what I consider to be a bad decision since the fonts used (Kobo Tsukushi Mincho and Kobo UD Kakugo) are large packages that do not support bold or italic and can cause slow operation on the Kobo Glo with it's limited memory. Perhaps, the firmware should check the locale and use those two fonts for Japan with the rest of the world getting Georgia/Avenir.
