Strangely, I'm not finding KoboRoot.tgz in the out folder. Bat file seems to run normally, but I just get two text files in the out folder, log.txt and run_kobopatch_to_generate_these_files.txt.
Anyone else having this problem? |

A bit off topic, but I've just switched from using json2jsonp to my own kfwproxy for proxying and caching the API requests on my kobofirmware page. This should improve page load times by around 5s, will reduce the load on Kobo servers, will result in less errors (it used to error on 0.1% of page loads), and will update faster.
What's in log.txt? |

Can you edit your post and add SPOILER tags around it (press the button with an eye with a x over it).

Mine as well since I only use side-loaded fonts, so I'll just skip this firmware update. I didn't see anything in the notes that would drastically improve my reading experience, so it's definitely not a bother at all to just skip this firmware.

Patience, young padawan. PS: It's nothing new, patches have often/always been released in a staggered manner, depending on what's ready or not. |

I use the advanced font control patch myself, and will fix it as soon as I have enough contiguous free time. P.S. I noticed you have 11111111 karma. You're quite lucky! |

No, I understand that, and I'm not disparaging people who volunteer their time and expertise into putting these patches together. I'm grateful that they do it at all.

I've noticed that the advanced font settings "hold" across patches even if you don't have advanced font controls enabled, so you still get the advantage of your customized settings even if you can't change them until the patch is updated.
