Hi tshering. Could you please show me step by step how to replace default font (font displayed on menu and book list) by an Unicode font, Arial for example?

One problem with assigning a user font to the menu and the book list is, that on power on only three fonts, which are provided by Kobo, are available to the system. The other fonts become available after opening a book (and depending on the case, you might even have to open the fonts menu). If your main concern is to display in the library view book titles in languages that are not supported by kobo, all you have to do is to provide a font that supports the characters of that language. The software tries to select automatically a font that is appropriate. But... (1) this works only after all fonts have become available to the software (you have to open first a book ...), cf. this thread. (2) the software might not select the ideal font. You can help it to select your font by renaming the font file in order to put it towards the top of the list. Cf. this post, which is about KSM. But there is the same problem, since both the kobo software and KSM use the same framework (Qt). You might note that when I started writing that post, I did not yet understand that the alphabetical position of the font names is of importance. Last edited by tshering; 07-02-2016 at 04:03 PM. |

Modification for Bad Eyes FW 4.0.7523
I am not sure whether the bad eyes patch is meaningful for the Auro One. I prepared it anyway as sort of preparing for the next general firmware update. This package addresses the following main topics.
As for the extended keyboard, the package provides examples of Sanskrit IAS transcription (this one does not work correctly, as I found only later), Cyrillic, and Arabic. None of them is enabled by default. As for the dictionary popup window of the Aura One, I did not change the values. Search in nickel.txt for "#I did no changes for Daylight", to find the part where you can set your values. If you find fitting values (take these pictures as a reference), please post them here, so that I can include them in the next package. Last edited by tshering; 10-15-2016 at 04:55 PM. |

Modification for Bad Eyes FW 4.1.7729
Everything is basically the same as in Modification for Bad Eyes FW 4.0.7523.
If you did customise some patches for FW 4.0.7523, you can copy the changed patches to the patch files of the current version. The exception is the only patch under the heading "Library View, no italics" in nickel.txt. There, you have to use the new patch with the name "E2DC3(4.1.7729)."

Thanks @tshering. It works and I like it.
I just renamed the trans_ca.qm to trans_ja.qm, installed the patch and selected the Japanese language. The side effect of the date shown in Japanese. Have you solved it? . |

Try position=7bafb8, if this does not work (that means if you cannot see the second page of beta features), try position=7baea6. I guess it is safe to test this. Nevertheless, it might be a good idea to backup anything you need, in case something happens. Last edited by tshering; 10-23-2016 at 05:24 PM. |
