Adding a font to a Kobo device
I have a Forma to which at one point I added the Bookerly font. Stupidly, I didn't note down the steps (nor where I could find that font, or some approximation of it). I thought I'd see if the same procedure works for the Elipsa... but now I can't.
I seem to remember it was just a matter of copying the font to a certain directory and changing something in an ini file.
Is there anybody who remembers the steps one had to take, or can point me to a guide on this forum? I often can't find older instructions here.
MTIA.

Sorry, it's actually Bitter (or some clone of that) that I'm using on the Forma. But same difference.

Sideloaded fonts go in the Kobo/font subdirectory but I'm not familiar with any additional procedure required.

Oh, maybe that was all that was needed then. I'll see if I can get that to work. Thanks.
