Yes; if an ebook has built in fonts (or refers to other fonts already installed in the reader), Publisher Default will use them. Sometimes they'll only specify specific fonts for the headers and other things but not the body font, which in that case will use the Kobo default of Georgia. If you manually specify a font in the menu, it'll use it for everything, which may not have been the author's/publisher's intent. Programming books are one example of a book that uses multiple fonts at the same time.

Depends on the font size you normally read at and feel comfortable with. If the font size slider stays mostly to the left, probably Text. If you have yours set near the middle or right side, then probably Display. But you can try both and see what looks better to you; I believe that if you don't rename them, they can both be installed at the same time.

The line spacing can be solved by including "line-height: normal" into your CSS file (for instance in de body {} section). Somehow kobo's assume for Bitter (Pro) some weird default line height. |

I downloaded it from google fonts, or maybe github, dont remember, try both Bitter and Bitter Pro, for me Bitter Pro has excesive line spacing, while Bitter is great.

My favorite font for kobo (including Libra) is Libre Baskerville: https://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/libre-baskerville
Turning down line spacing + Libre Baskerville = pure reading heaven. |
