I found a font that I really like in Regular and Italic. However, the Bold and Bold Italic versions are stupidly thick. Fortunately, this font also has Semibold and Semibold Italic variants.

What do I need to do to swap in the Semi- versions on my Kobo? Can I just rename the files, or do the internals need to be adjusted as well? (If I need to modify the internals, I only have access to MacOS.)
