I used the commands
Code:
fontforge -script ReadifyFontCLI.py -r LelujaOriginal-Regular.ttf LelujaNew
fontforge -script ReadifyFontCLI.py -i LelujaOriginal-Italic.ttf LelujaNew
fontforge -script ReadifyFontCLI.py -b LelujaOriginal-Bold.ttf LelujaNew
fontforge -script ReadifyFontCLI.py -B LelujaOriginal-BoldItalic.ttf LelujaNew
I have no idea what the script is doing, but in Windows Font Viewer, the descenders are cut off. In the regular version, the letter o is screwed up. Here are the screen grabs to show the problems.

I think some of this this may have to do with the adding weight which a Kobo does not need. So the code for adding weight should be removed even if the adding of weight is not the problem.
