I want to sideload Amazon's Bookerly font on my device. I've extracted the 4 font files directly from Kindle firmware, so they should be the newest versions.
Apparently Kobo devices don't seem to like the weight value of these fonts?
Tutorials mention to edit the font files using FontForge and edit the weight value. Sure, no problem.
But wouldn't installing the patch to enable advanced settings for sideloaded fonts also let me fix this 'problem' ?
