Metazoa's response (and keep in mind that he is mostly using CoolReader now, so his personal interest in patching has been reduced quite a bit):

On opening the book from the first page: he would need a copy of a book that doesn't do it to even start looking, but expects this would take a while.

Ditto on user-chosen fonts & line spacing -- he would need a sample to work with.

He said pretty much the same thing about dictionaries. Hopefully tshering can help byblo out with the database editing trick?

On to 2.9.0. He hasn't even seen it (nor did he sound very interested in trying it out), but his gut feel is that it'll generally be hard to put back in something Kobo took out.

As for encrypted fonts, he said pretty much the same thing as davidfor -- non-encrypted copies of these fonts are available on the net, some even free. Considering the lack of Cyrillic support in the built-in ones his interest in decrypting those is close to 0.

And for all of that, it's contingent on his having some spare time on his hands.

I think that's about it. @byblo, if you can make a small sample book that would allow Metazoa to look at your navigation & font/line spacing problem, please post it somewhere and I'll point him to it.

@giorgio130, does tshering's finding solve your dictionary problem?
