I have also KA2 and I have unfortunately noticed similar behavior. Especially it seems that this behavior occurs in my case with books that have been bought from elsewhere than Kobo store. The books are in EPUBv2 format and have "Social DRM" in them (just watermark). These books crash the reader application, and the books occasionally show only a blank page when opened. A reattempt requires rebooting the device. In these books, editing the font family does not work, and font justification does not work either.
Kobo support said that it was not a reader issue, and the bookstore told me to use some other reader.
I went debugging the issue a bit, but when unzipping the EPUB, I didn't find anything extraordinary rather than some exotic obfuscated fonts. I'm wondering also if the CSS definitions are preventing me from adjusting some of the font properties. I'm not sure where to continue from here, and if it's a reader issue or epub issue. What is also interesting about the issue was that my old Kobo Mini was able to show the books correctly, which is using older 3.19.x firmware.
Continuing to debug the issue later and checking out if I can find anything
any tips are welcome!
