I've tried to do it but somehow it didn't work.
The font is present on the device as a sideloaded font meaning the Advanced button isn't accessable. Is it possible to upload (move) a sideloaded font to the internal (onboard) font directory instead placing this font in the user accessble fonts directory? |

a) If you have installed one of the hacks for enabling telnet access to the Kobo, then it would be trivial. b) Or by simulating the regular Kobo upgrade; ie creating a pseudo KoboRoot.tgz that contains the desired files in the correct subdirectories, then placing that file in the .kobo directory and allowing it to be processed. |

I also learned that the embedded Kobo font 'Times New Roman' is still in the internal memory but is also not shown as an installed font. This font was present on earlier firmware versions but later removed or more likely deactivated. Same for 'Delima'. Installing TNR as a sideloaded font works, but doesn't give access to the TyeGenius font settings. |

I renamed the font files, and also opened the files in Fontlab Studio 5 where I went to "Font Info" and renamed the fonts. Shouldn't this have worked? Is there something I'm missing? Can you provide the step-by-step process for renaming in a specific piece of software, for those of us new to the world of font-modification? |

I second a step-by-step description with the font editor you used. Or better: attach a working renamed font. Kobo Touch Model: N905 (a.k.a. old Touch) FW: 2.5.1 Kobos original embedded fonts Delima and Times New Roman (and others?) are not present in the fonts list but are still present on the device. Some original fonts seem to be deactivated. Is there a way to fix/solve it? Edit: The fonts not showing are not in the font database on the Kobo device (fontdb). Code:

The font trick does work for fw 2.6.1 but not with fw 2.5.1 or 2.5.2. Tested on Kobo Touch (N905, mark3 firmware) only. Last edited by Anak; 07-09-2013 at 09:27 AM. |

I've sideloaded Amasis, Caecilia, Gill Sans & Malabar fonts from the Nook onto the Aura (the Nook versions have Cyrillic glyphs in them while Kobo does not). All of the fonts continue to show in the list with advanced options available for each, however only the Gill Sans is the sideloaded one, the other three are still the original ones. As far as I can tell all the fonts are named properly (internal name matches the filename with attribute specifiers). Any idea on why Kobo picks up the sideloaded Gill Sans but not the others?

Regarding Gill Sans, I wonder if it's a coincidence that the only one of your test fonts which DID work is the one whose built-in equivalent DOESN'T currently work properly (bold instead of italics problem)? The other built-in fonts which are currently known to be problematic are Kobo Nickel and Avenir Next. As an aside, I've also occasionally wondered whether it's a coincidence that the 3 problematic built-in fonts are the ones containing a space in their name? |
