Hi,
Finally, I managed to make it work. Phewww! For me, replacing fonts with empty ones did not work. It's time to "fine tune" these fonts a little bit. Thank you very much tshering!!! http://imgur.com/a/lDB2C |

In brief, you could follow these steps:
1. Connect your eReader to the Wifi network 2. Open a telnet connection to the Reader. On macOS or *NIX based OS like Ubuntu, Fedora, you should be able do it natively via Terminal. If you use Windows, this article might help: https://kb.ctera.com/article/how-to-...s-8-os-16.html 3. Delete or rename the folder "fonts" at usr/local/Trolltech/QtEmbedded-4.6.2-arm/lib/ 4. Done! Code:
haidinhtuan@ubuntu:~$ telnet 192.168.137.60 Trying 192.168.137.60... Connected to 192.168.137.60. Escape character is '^]'. (none) login: root [root@(none) ~]# cd usr/local/Trolltech/QtEmbedded-4.6.2-arm/lib [root@(none) lib]# ll -sh: ll: not found [root@(none) lib]# ls fonts libQtGui.so.4.6.2 libQtScript.so.4.6.2 libQtWebKitWidgets.so.4.6.2 fontsa libQtMultimedia.so.4.6.2 libQtSensors.so.4.6.2 libQtWidgets.so.4.6.2 libQtConcurrent.so.4.6.2 libQtMultimediaWidgets.so.4.6.2 libQtSql.so.4.6.2 libQtXml.so.4.6.2 libQtCore.so.4.6.2 libQtNetwork.so.4.6.2 libQtSvg.so.4.6.2 libQtXmlPatterns.so.4.6.2 libQtDBus.so.4.6.2 libQtPrintSupport.so.4.6.2 libQtWebKit.so.4.6.2 [root@(none) lib]# mv ./fonts ./fontsa [root@(none) lib]# ls fontsa libQtMultimedia.so.4.6.2 libQtSensors.so.4.6.2 libQtWidgets.so.4.6.2 libQtConcurrent.so.4.6.2 libQtMultimediaWidgets.so.4.6.2 libQtSql.so.4.6.2 libQtXml.so.4.6.2 libQtCore.so.4.6.2 libQtNetwork.so.4.6.2 libQtSvg.so.4.6.2 libQtXmlPatterns.so.4.6.2 libQtDBus.so.4.6.2 libQtPrintSupport.so.4.6.2 libQtWebKit.so.4.6.2 libQtGui.so.4.6.2 libQtScript.so.4.6.2 libQtWebKitWidgets.so.4.6.2 [root@(none) lib]# exit |

I’m in a same situation which is displaying Vietnamese in the Nickel GUI. I already had Telnet and SSH setup on my Kobo so I proceeded to rename the fonts folder in /usr/local/Trolltech/QtEmbedded-4.6.2-arm/lib to fonts_orig. After this I exit the session, turned off the Wifi and reloaded nickel (by going to KSM08 and back). Now the Nickel GUI has only squares instead of characters and opening a book will get the GUI to load (some) font for displaying in GUI but it seems to load the original font which is incapable of displaying special characters.
Have you done anything else prior to rename the fonts folder, like patching the nickel? |

/usr/local/Trolltech/QtEmbedded-4.6.2-arm/lib/fonts /mnt/onboard/fonts If you have removed all the fonts of /usr/local/Trolltech/QtEmbedded-4.6.2-arm/lib/fonts, then nickel can only use the fonts of /mnt/onboard/fonts (= the fonts folder on the user partition). If you have several side loaded fonts, try removing all but the one that is appropriate for displaying Vietnamese. |

Requirements: - Kobo Start Menu 08 (what I have: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=266821) - install Coolreader https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...&postcount=144, the vlasovsoft folder can be found from http://pbchess.vlasovsoft.net/en/index.html * the reason for Coolreader installation is because it comes with a FileManager that can be used to rename files Steps: - exit nickel to get to Kobo Start Menu - start vlasovsoftlauncher - FileManager - While checking the top bar - - (/mnt/onboard), tap on Up arrow to get to /mnt - - (/mnt/), tap to Up arrow to get to / - - (/) Swipe up to find usr, select it - - (/usr), select local -> Trolltech -> QtEmbedded-4.6.2-arm -> lib - Tap on the Select icon at the bottom bar (third one from left) and select fonts - Tap on Hamburger menu icon(fourth icon from the left), select Rename, and input fontsa. - Exit FileManager by tapping on the Power icon Last edited by Kozzi; 01-06-2017 at 12:13 PM. |

If you want to have several fonts installed, you can try to rename the font files (only the file names; it is not required to rename the internal font names). Choose for the Vietnamese font a name that is alphabetically prior to the others (e.g. 01_myVietnameseFont.ttf, 02_georgia.ttf, and so on). This might help to give priority to the Vietnamese font.
