Thank you for testing and comenting. In the meantime, I recreated the patches that increase indiscriminately the font size values of all css blocks that I was able to find. But this time, I increased them by only 30 percent. For me this is an acceptable compromise. Up to now I have seen only one real problem: in Settings > Device Information, the Software Version is cut off. Also some parts of Settings > Accounts are cut off, but since they are shown in light gray color on light gray back ground, I cannot see them anyway.
Next, I included the "old" patches, which have identified targets, into the new configuration files. So these parts are still easily configurable.
I upload the new package to
post #46.
Note: I used again the files of the mark 5 version, since they are slightly newer and I did not see any harm while using it together with the mark 4 FW.

I realize that your patcher is using different conf file format from the other one. I tried to combine one with another and use each of the patchers, but there was always an error linked to conf file format.
Do you think it would make sense to have some sort of alignment on the patching format for Kobo devices? What do you think would be the approach to deal with this?

Generally, you can use the content of the xxx.patch files with my patcher. Cf. this post (
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...3&postcount=35). You would copy the jobs of libnickel.so.1.0.0.patch to conf_libnickel.txt. For the other two configuration files you would add
Code:
sourcefile=libadobe.so
targetfile=..\3.5.0_target\usr\local\Kobo\libadobe.so
and
Code:
sourcefile=librmsdk.so.1.0.0
targetfile=..\3.5.0_target\usr\local\Kobo\librmsdk.so.1.0.0
respectively, and would rename them to conf_XXX.
There is, however, one problem. On some machines my patcher cannot handle "replace_float." I have on my machines XP, Win 7.0, and Win 8.1. And on all of them it works as expected. So maybe you are lucky and it works on your machine too. replace_float is used in three patches of libnickel.so.1.0.0.patch.
If it does not work for you, you can first patch libnickel.so.1.0.0 in GeoffR's patcher and copy the resulting libnickel.so.1.0.0 to \3.5.0_source, before you run the bad eyes patcher. (libnickel.so.1.0.0 of the mark 4 and mark 5 packages are identical, even so they have different time stamps. So there is no problem.)
