Android 6.0 and Verbum fonts

My phone has just updated to Android 6.0 Marshmallow and I wanted to report a couple of issues I've found (LG Nexus 5). Verbum works fine (version 4.6.4) but it doesn't use the usual reading fonts (see sshot-1.png). It's not a big deal, but the previous font was more pleasant to read. Other than that, the text preferences shows an empty preview (see sshot-2.png). Thank you.

The text preview is blank if the app is used on devices configured to use non-English locales; this is a known issue and is unrelated to Android 6.0.

The font in any given resource should look exactly the same on any version of Android. I've attached a screenshot of the same resource you are using, taken in Android 5.1.0.

OK, thank you for the answer.

You are right, the fonts look the same. Now I understand what has made me think something had changed: the fact that the line spacing is now smaller. You can compare then side by side in this screenshot.

As said, it's not a big deal, I simply found the previous line spacing more pleasant to read.

The iOS apps have the ability to change line spacing, but the Android apps currently do not. There is an existing case for adding this feature to the Android apps but there is not a time frame for when it will be added. Thanks for reporting this issue, I haven't done much testing yet with Android 6. Also, there is a case for the text preview not appearing.
