If you really need that capability, you could check out the [WIP] KoboMail - send ebooks by email to kobo devices thread.
There are a bunch of features that I don't use, some are sub-optimal; I still consider them features that one reader may or may not have.

I played with the Advanced font settings on quite a few fonts. Some of them worked fine while for others, the best I can say is that the results were interesting. I suspect that Kobo's staff did not want to deal with people complaining that "I upped the weight of the fonts and some characters are now unreadable."
Would you mine explaining what the interesting results are? Thanks.

Okay. So now that Kobo has enabled advanced font controls across the board, how about listing all fonts in alphabetical order, rather than splitting preloaded and sideloaded?

Personally, I think the separation is correct. It is making it clear which fonts are which. If it was me, I'd put an obvious line between them.

These are the good ones, these have cooties?

Should the library also sort first books from Kobo and then sideloaded? Perhaps with an obvious line separating them?

Thirding this, especially if you’ve loaded up a few fonts.

Can anyone enlighten me on why separating sideloaded fonts from system fonts is better than listing them all alphabetically? What is the advantage, in your opinion?

I know what the system fonts are, and generally I don’t use any of them. So dividing sideloaded fonts makes it easier to find them as they’ve got their own section.

But when you are choosing a font, do you not know the name of it?

For me, it would be nice to not have to scroll to pick Bookerly, Literata Book or ChareInk.

Not working with the publisher default. (Not sure how it is named exactly in english.)

Also, it’s kind of weird the way Kobo implemented that feature. You choose your font, then click on Advanced, and you have to select your font again in the list.

Publisher default never gets any modifications from other settings. So that’s probably working as intended.

As for selecting the font a second time you should not need to. Just tap advanced settings and change the weight of the font. It should automatically be the one you’d already had in use.

My font is Literata Book and when I click Advanced, Literata Book is already populated in the drop down.

I tried setting the font as Publisher Default and in Advanced it chose the first available font.
