Hey Folks,
I heard that Kobo e-readers cannot manipulate the weight of side-loaded fonts, unless the user installs a patch. Is there a post in this forum where I can download the patch? Are patches easy to install? I have no programming experience, but I've watched a few YouTube tutorials on it and it seems fairly straightforward. Will changing the weight of side-loaded fonts mess up the kerning or cause any other problems?
If the Kobo can change the weight of side-loaded fonts, without messing up the kerning, I will probably buy one and install a font that I find very legible: Iowan Old Style.
(I need to quickly decide whether or not to buy the Kobo; I need to buy college textbooks ASAP. I found all my books on the Kobo store).
