Embedded Fonts
Does anyone know of a way to configure/mod Kobo to use publisher fonts when they are embedded and use the user selected fonts when they are not specified?
I mess around with fonts for fun and they show up just fine on every other device except my Kobo. It's something to do with how it prioritises things but I'm not all too familiar with systems or how to override it.

There is no way to use publisher font automatically.

Eh? Epubs display embedded fonts just fine while using the user font for main text. Kepubs do it with a patch.

Do you use kepubs? Epubs should do it out of the box. For kepubs you need to patch your Kobo (specifically, the patch "Un-force user font family").

What firmware is your Kobo on? If the latest, look here:
