It was pretty much only people who visited this forum that knew about it. Plus those who read blogs by people who source their information from here.
But the problem is that if the eBook specifies monospace without an embedded font then that may not work. And for a lot of people, there is no embedding a monopace font. Kobo really should fix this bug even if means adding a monospace font to the system fonts.

Sure, we know what to do. But most won't know what to do or even about removing DRM so they can fix it or even that the eBook needs fixing.
