Device: Kobo Forma, Kobo Sage, Kobo Libra 2
I’ve now looked on my two Formas, one on 4.31 the other on 4.32, my Sage and Libra 2, both on 4.32, and my Kobo H2O which somehow is running 4.30 I suppose I must have synced it for some reason after that update though I can’t imagine why as I’ve not used it for reading in quite some time now.

Kobo Nickel appears the same on each device in each firmware. Granted it’s only the last three firmware releases, but I’d have thought we’d have seen someone mentioning this amid 4.30s release, 4.31s release, or the rollbacks to 4.30.

It appears as a slab serif font, I can’t say for 100% sure how much the line spacing has changed as some of these devices are patched some aren’t, and for the ones that are I can’t for sure say if I used line 10 or 24 patches and if I did which one. Though this wouldn’t affect the font to the point it didn’t look like Times New Roman, nor do I apply any patches that would try to switch out Kobo Nickel (or any preinstalled font), and the non patched devices are the same as the patched ones for Kobo Nickels overall appearance.

I mean I suppose I could try rolling back the Kobo H2O to its stock firmware (pretty sure we already had Kobo Nickel back then) to really put this to the test. But I think I’ll hold off unless we get some more complaints that Kobo Nickel has changed.
