Previously you've only needed to do it once per fw upgrade, not every time you patch. Of course that may be one and the same thing.
Whether you'll need to re-do it after every firmware upgrade in the future depends on what Kobo have included in the Trolltech subdirectory you referred to.
- If the 4 GillSans*.ttf files are entirely missing from that directory in a new firmware .zip then the files you've manually added via kobopatch should still be there after the upgrade.
- However, Kobo sometimes include in the firmware .zip, 4 empty zero-length files with the same name. These would overwrite the 4 working font files with empty files. In this case you'd need to re-transfer the 4 good GillSans*.ttf files with kobopatch after the upgrade.
Which is the more likely of the two is anyone's guess. If Kobo had font licenses which have expired then option 2 is probably more likely. However, if they just fancied a change of fonts then option 1 is possible. Also, I suppose we shouldn't rule out that the space available for all the built-in fonts may be finite.
