Edited again: all squares in Chinese book titles under native koko system came back after a reboot. I didn't change any settings!

Edited: Most problems disappeared suddenly - probably because I added a new book and the device re-scanned everything? But in the "history" list under Koreader, all non-English titles remain as question marks :-(

Hi there,

I tried this method to get rid of the squares in Chinese book titles in the native kobo system (Aura HD) - unfortunately - only to find out that everything in Chinese book titles turned into squares, including the Chinese characters that had been properly shown before. Titles/books in traditional Chinese disappeared completely from the library. Under the Koreader system, Chinese books titles in "history" also turned into question marks while appearing to be normal in "FileManager".

I wonder if any of you, who read Chinese, will be kind enough to help me figure out what went wrong: I created a "fonts" holder under Kobo, first put the font file mentioned in the above link - then also tried coping all Chinese font types from Koreader to this new holder (so I have two identical "fonts" holders of many fonts under two separate systems), but it didn't work either ways for the KOBO native system and "history" list in Koreader.

Please help. Thank you!
