I'm really not sure if I've done this right.

I have put these files in "fonts" on my kobo:

NotoSansMono-VariableFont_wdth,wght.ttf
NotoSans-Italic-VariableFont_wdth,wght.ttf
NotoSans-VariableFont_wdth,wght.ttf
NotoSansMath-Regular.ttf
NotoSansSymbols-VariableFont_wght.ttf
NotoSansSymbols2-Regular.ttf
NotoSerif-VariableFont_wdth,wght.ttf
NotoSerif-Italic-VariableFont_wdth,wght.ttf

Do I need to rename some of these to remove "wdth,wwght", "VariableFont" and similar? Some threads seem to say the file names have to be very specific things.

Are these even the right files to be using?

Unzipping the .zip files I downloaded originally also produced a bunch of
files in directories called "static" in some cases.

Should I install those instead? As well? Noto Sans and Noto Serif in particular have a LOT of files in the "static" directories. Well, by a lot I mean 72 each.

I tried using noto serif to read a book and _everything_ came out italic, which seems wrong.
