Hi!
I spent two days studying how to make the kobo display Vietnamese. There are many ways that have been shared before. I followed and got a 99% read error. Another way to help me read the book but the title of the book was just the box. This is very annoying.
I downloaded a file and discovered that renaming the fonts to fontsx was what caused the kobo 99% read error.
Code:
mv usr/local/Trolltech/QtEmbedded-4.6.2-arm/lib/fonts usr/local/Trolltech/QtEmbedded-4.6.2-arm/lib/fontsx
I added 1 line
Code:
mkdir usr/local/Trolltech/QtEmbedded-4.6.2-arm/lib/fonts
This seems silly but it worked. I no longer see the white book (99% read error) The title and content of the book is now 100% Vietnamese. I share this up here hoping to help you save 2 working days or more!
You can download file from this
1.Download the fonts (
NotoSerif) and a epub book
2.Connect your Kobo with PC.
3.Create fonts folder in kobo
4 Copy NotoSerif fonts to folder fonts
5 Copy epub file to your kobo
5.Eject and disconnect Kobo wait kobo autoupdate
6.Connect kobo to PC again
7. Copy KoboRoot.tgz to .kobo folder
8. Eject and wait kobo update
9. Now you see all are squares. Click on the book and click on the Aa icon. Choose Noto Serif and enjoy your book
I use google translate hope you can understand
