Thank you for the reply. If I remove DejaVuSerif from the koreader/fonts directory, leaving DejaVu Serif Condensed as the only DejaVu font in the koreader font menu, this still happens - I can't select DejaVu Serif Condensed.

I have done some more testing on this. I have koreader 2025.04 installed on my linux desktop via flatpak. If I turn on "Enable system fonts" in the font settings there, I can see the DejaVu fonts in the font menu.

2025.04 has the same problem on linux - I can select other fonts, but not DejaVuSerifCondensed. With flatpak, I am able to downgrade koreader to 2024.04, so I tested the older versions.

Koreader 2024.04 and 2024.11 don't have this problem - I am able to select any font there, including DejaVuSerifCondensed. It is only a problem in 2025.04.

I noticed something else while testing different versions. If I have a book open in koreader 2024.11, using DejaVuSerifCondensed, then close koreader, upgrade to 2025.04, and re-open the same book, 2025.04 is successfully using DejaVuSerifCondensed. The problem only happens if I change fonts - now I can't change back to DejaVuSerifCondensed.
