I am running Koreader 2025.04 on a Kindle PW4, and have a problem with one font.
Although it appears as a choice in the koreader fonts menu, I cannot switch to the "DejaVu Serif Condensed" font. When I try to select it, the check box in the font menu is not checked, and the document font is not changed.
To be sure, I connected the kindle to my PC, and updated the DejaVu fonts from the fonts installed by the Arch linux "extra/ttf-dejavu" package. So now the koreader/fonts/DejaVu directory looks like this:
In this state, I can change the epub font to "DejaVu Serif" in koreader, but not "DejaVu Serif Condensed".
Any help trouble shooting this?
