However, is it possible that this patch is no longer required? I've just opened a kepub and an epub (both previously unread) on my Libra Colour with 4.45.23640 and the font-size appears the same in both.

It would be good if someone else could confirm/deny this potential good news.

It looks like someone at Kobo might have finally read my patch notes, because I think they have indeed fixed it.

I loaded this firmware into Ghidra, and it appears that Kobo are now using the ( font_size / 15.0 ) * 96 formula my patch was trying to replicate with different numbers.

EDIT: I am very rusty with this though, so take this as a grain of salt... And the problem was always device dependent depending on the devices screen DPI.
