No. I didn't know such patches existed.

The steps should be small enough that you have to consider which one you want but not so fine that you agonize.

Here is the top of the page I'm reading on a 6".
Your sample looks good (probably a little smaller font than I would use now). When I embed fonts into ePubs I use Constantia. But on DRM'd books where I can't embed fonts on the Nook Glowlight 3, I use Georgia (thicker setting) and that works pretty well for (especially on the Glowlight 3 without the newer firmware and more reasonable small font sizes).

This latest firmware change doesn't affect me, but it ends any chance that I'll buy a newer Nook.
