While doing a factory reset (or logging out) would fix a corrupted database, that doesn't mean it didn't get corrupted again afterwards.

Usually the database gets corrupted by not correctly ejecting the device after side loading a book. However, there was a bug in the '31 firmware that made it much more likely to happen even if you did eject correctly. The latest firmware ('32) seems to have (mostly?) fixed that.

The signs of a corrupted database include your reading position not being saved across reboots or new books not getting imported after you side load them. Basically, if the database is corrupted, some things get saved in memory but not written back to the database, so the settings are lost on reboot and possibly partially lost on other operations.

I don't know if a corrupted database would cause the font settings to not be saved or be partially saved, but it seems likely.
