On most of my ebooks, I have removed the embedded fonts. On some books, I have left the fonts in, because multiple fonts are used for clarity or effects or layout or other useful reasons.

Presently, I have to remember if the book is one with embedded fonts, and manually toggle between "Publisher Default" and "myfavoritefont" before and after reading that book.

I don't want to have to do this manually. I want the Kobo to automatically use a specific one of my user-installed fonts as the displayed font, UNLESS the book contains embedded fonts, in which case I want it to use the embedded fonts. I want this to happen without any effort on my part.

I think that if were to I enable "Default ePub serif font" and set the Kobo font face setting to "Publisher Default", it will accomplish this, but I don't want to go through the trouble of renaming the font to 8 characters and re-patching my Kobo if I've made an incorrect assumption.

Should I break this out into its own thread? I hate to clog threads up inappropriately.


I don't think "Un-Force user font-family in KePubs" or "Un-force font-family override p tags" match my ask as described in paragraph 4 above. I don't mind using the embedded body font in the books where I have preserved the fonts.
The first and most important thing to know is: do you read epubs or kepubs? Because they behave differently re embedded fonts.
