Did that include making sure the file names of the fonts was correct? And that you dropped all of the files? As stated, the described problem suggests that you have not done this. I don't know which instructions you followed, but, the ones here
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=204363 are definitely correct.
I see in a later post you did not rename any files, so the fonts will not work.

what were you asking me to check? i can't send to device with my kobo.the kobo utilities say the database version is too new so device management funtions don't work. i copy books into my reader directly to the folder. all of my kobo and calibre stuff is fully up to date, so again not sure what else to do?

Yes you can. The
warning message only applies to actions that updated the database on the device. Sending a book does not. And you would have seen that if you tried. Plus, the warning message clearly explains what to do to avoid the problem. And all you have to do is visit the Kobo forum here to see exactly what the status of calibre and the device firmware is.
But, if you have not been "copy books into my reader directly to the folder", did you name the files correctly? In the calibre library, kepubs will have the extension ".kepub". On the Kobo devices, they must be ".kepub.epub". If you have not changed the extenstion the device will completely ignore the books.
And the fact that you weren't actually using calibre to put the books on the device is a fairly major omission in your problem report. If you had said that in the first post, guess what my first reply would have been? (Hint: just look at this post)
