Maybe I also wasn't as clear as I could have been All I was trying to share was that when I loaded my MinionPro .otf files to the Patched Kobo I could select MinionPro without any problem. However changing the Weight slider had no effect at all. Once I'd converted the otfs to ttfs the Patched Kobo was happy to change the MinionPro weight as per slider value. This may not be your problem but I thought I'd try to clarify anyway.

Ah that makes sense, but no my issue is that the advanced font patch isn't available for 3.11 as of yet. Good to know about .otf files though.

Regarding the 'long paragraph bug'. It has been fixed, but if you still see small gaps at the bottom of the page you could also edit the default ..

Thanks, this got me started. I went ahead and enabled 'Fix page breaks bug', so I won't need to worry about setting widows/orphans in CSS.

I also forgot about the 'Brightness fine control' patch. I really like having that option, and set at 1, since I usually read at night.
