(Maybe custom firmwares do have the possibility of changing the dictionary font --- I do not know for sure, try searching the Kobo Developer part of this forum.)

I have tried reaching the Kobo devs several times, asking them for the dictionary format documentation and official support for custom dictionaries, but with zero results.

Is the dictionary linked above still usable? Would you like me to list it in the index in the first post?
Thank you very much for your replying. I have searched and can display Vietnamese well in Kobo dictionary (thread Modifications for bad eyes). The dictionary that I attached in the another post is English - Vietnamese, hope it will help someone when you put it to the first post dictionary list. Cheers!
