If you're using the kobopatch system you can try one of my patches. It's the one called 'Dictionary text font-family/font-size/line-height - beta' (in libnickel.so.1.0.0.yaml). It's been around a long time so don't let 'beta' put you off. It will allow you to specify a replacement sideloaded font instead of Georgia for dictionary stuff.

However, finding a font which is going to be suitable for all your dictionary languages may be easier said than done.
Many thanks, it worked
The font code2000 solved the issue and worked well with all the dictionaries

Beside there are various choices

Arial Unicode MS should fit well too

The final (and very simple) solution should be a firmware version with a free unicode font
