Would it be possible to create a patch to change the font and font style to what it was before, i.e. the Kobo default font in FW 4.15? And also display an icon for reading progress?

I would also like to humbly request that it be considered whether it is possible to make a patch to reinsert the reading progress icon so that it is only one click away once into the reading menu.
It's not obvious to me why Kobo decided to encapsulate what would be three icons into one in this menu, since there seems to be sufficient space to fit the adjacent text in all the scenarios I've been able to produce—I had been trying to make the text long enough that it might encroach upon the space available for icons.
EDIT: Upon further inspection, what has happened makes even less sense to me. The three items which appear under the ellipsis submenu at the top right are
View Details,
Dictionary, and
Reading Progress. Without having to click on this ellipsis icon you can instead click on the magnifying glass icon to get to a dictionary search with a single click. This means that the
Dictionary link in the submenu is redundant, and the ellipsis submenu could be replaced by two icons that link directly to book details and reading progress. Instead they require users to click twice to show the reading progress, and then another two times to hide the reading progress before selecting anything else from the menu. Is this not a terrible implementation in terms of usability? Might it be possible to correct this with a patch?
