All the fonts are missing from my kobo... I broke it with calibre somehow

iakrus · 10-19-2024, 12:02 PM

im using a month old kobo sage and when i first tested it out, it had all the fonts. i use kobo nickel to read and have for 4 years. also im autistic and hate change so its really standing out for me and i havent been able to read since the font vanished!

i basically exclusively read fanfics using the fanficfare plugin, but i use a wide variety of other plugins as well and ive been messing around with them all and trying to get my library and metadata sorted for the last few months as i had been doing everything manually for years.

i think the only way to get the fonts back would be a hard reset of my kobo, which sucks because it loses my reading time stats when i do that. but i really need to know what i did wrong so i dont do it again (especially as i only have 8 hours of reading time now but got into the hundreds with my old reader so i'd rather it not happen again later).

anyone know what sort of plugin could do this? i'll post a screenshot of my list but i use koboutilities and kobotouchextended which are the only two i can think of that might mess with fonts??? i dont know

help please!!

This is a known issue of the Sage and happens occasionally. Nothing to do with calibre. The fonts aren't actually missing. Restarting your Sage should fix it.

thank you SO much!! i'd googled kobo missing fonts but all the responses were about people trying to sideload fonts.
thats an annoying glitch, but at least i dont have to reset anything!! thank you for letting me know
