Using KOReader 2019.1.1 to read an epub file I am now having problems with the font display.

Effectively I can select a specific font using the menu but the text is not displayed in that font. The most obvious case is shown in the attached where I have selected a sans-serif font but text is displayed in a serif one.

This occurs both with fonts supplied with KOReader and with ones I have loaded. I've used a sans-serif font as an example as it is most visually obvious but it also occurs with serif and monospace fonts.

I'm not sure what has changed - things were fine before the 2019 update.

AIUI fonts should go into the adds/koreader/fonts/ directory. I noticed some errors in the crash.log like :

Code:

01/11/19-17:00:43 ERROR failed to register crengine font: cannot register font </mnt/onboard/fonts/Bitter-Bold.otf>
01/11/19-17:00:43 ERROR failed to register crengine font: cannot register font </mnt/onboard/fonts/Bitter-BoldItalic.otf>
01/11/19-17:00:43 ERROR failed to register crengine font: cannot register font </mnt/onboard/fonts/Bitter-Italic.otf>
01/11/19-17:00:43 ERROR failed to register crengine font: cannot register font </mnt/onboard/fonts/Bitter-Regular.otf>

but they seem to be because I had the same fonts also in /mnt/onboard/fonts for use with nickel so they were duplicated. If I have a font in /mnt/onboard/fonts is there any need to also have it in adds/koreader/fonts/ .

The Noto Sans font which I have used in the attached example is not duplicated.

EDIT
Hang fire on this - I think I have found out what is happening and it is to do with fonts declared in the css overriding the selected font. I thought de-selecting "embedded fonts" would allow me to change the document font but it doesn't seem to do that.
