Why does the font for page numbers change?

It happens just seldom enough that I convince myself I imagined it and it's all in my head. Or that it might be something with a particular book.

But when getting the exact positioning for the miniclock that I wanted, I was taking screenshots so I could count the pixels for the next try at alignment. And on about the 10th restart with new pixel info the screenshot showed the slightly bolder page numbers, along with the old miniclock Georgia font that previously matched the page numbers.

The most common font for the page numbers that I see is Georgia. I'm not sure what the bolder font is, possibly Amasis? I don't think it will ever pick out and use an extra font that I added (but I could be wrong about that).

I do patch, but I don't change any of the default info within the patches, it's just changing no to yes to the defaults set up. And the nightmode and miniclock patches as well, but this has been happening long before these last 2 patches were ever a thought, and with all firmwares in the past. I'm currently using 4.10.11655.

Any idea why it randomly changes the font used for the page numbers? I don't mind either font, but now with the miniclock, that means at times it won't match the page number font anymore (which I can live with for the convenience of the clock, but it's just bugging me why it's happening).

You can see from the screenshots it's the same exact page of one book, so that pretty much tosses out my idea that something within a book was causing the change. Another oddity that might have something to do with it is that once in awhile after a restart from adding a patch, the formatting on the page changes slightly. See the 3rd screenshot, the font size is still the same, but the pages are shifted slightly. That happened just from adding the KoboRoot.tgz file and rebooting for the miniclock, but that has happened once in awhile long before the miniclock.

At least I know I haven't been imagining it! But any ideas what's causing it and how to keep one font only for the page numbers? Or anyone else ever notice this happening?

These are the patches that I've enabled.
