With all fixes enabled I get the following note in the log:
"2026-09-30 15:33:34 NickelTypeFix v1.0: Note: _ntf_qtimer_singleShotImpl encountered a call on an unexpected thread; skipping this call's fix logic (other fixes are unaffected). (src/nickeltypefix.cc:636)"

Don't know the significance of this but with ntf_fast_epub_delivery disabled there's no such note.

Not to worry, this is a minor logging bug. I've addressed it here. It works correctly otherwise

I have a change I'd like added if you can do it. I would like font-family: monospace; to work using Courier from the fonts directory. Can this be done? Thanks.

I'm thinking about expanding NickelTypeFix so you can select overrides if things bother you, like:

- force hyphenation on via CSS
- force alignment (soft and hard variants)
- line height
- and some more common issues

In terms of fonts -- and I am totally biased -- I recommend checking out this collection. In particular, I made Libron to act as a sort of open source replacement for Bookerly, Amazon's default font on Kindle.
Great collection of fonts!
