How to reset reading settings to defaults?

I messed about with fonts, and ended up with spaces in words containing apostrophes, such as "isn't", which became "isn' t".
How to reset reading settings to defaults?
So that font, line spacing, margins and everything else are back to where they were before I experimented?

Before resetting, try a different font. Also, if this is KePub, set calibre for output KePub for better display instead of better highlighting.

There is no way to set everything back to default, because no such thing as the default settings exists.

What I and some others here do, is create a test book for messing with fonts (I have a 5-page epub filled with nonsense text). Then I looked at my current settings in the Kobo configuration file (by connecting my Kobo to my computer) and saved them in a text file on the computer, so I'd know what they are. After that, I used the Kobo Utilities plugin to set the reading font for all the books on my Kobo, using those saved settings (it also sets the margins and line-height, not only the font).

Now I can try out fonts in the test book, because the settings for all the other books are already saved and won't change.
