There are some things you can do to improve matters. Read this recent thread for more information - particularly the summary of findings in post #63.
Hi Jackie_w,
You've saved my Kobo Aura. The "Custom GUI system fonts" did the job. I prefer Code2000; however, it does not support Vietnamese. So I use "Noto Serif SC" and "Noto Sans SC" which support Vietnamese, Chinese (both Traditional and Simplied) as Chinese is my second language.
For previous firmware version, I just need to run "Custom collection/author header title font" patch then it will also take effect to Book lists and TOC. But not the current version. I don't know why.
There still some bugs like every time restarting the device I have open an Vietnamese book so that language can display correctly (same as previous version). And the preview of TOC (one line of TOC at the bottom when clicking in the middle of reading book) still cannnot display correctly which previous version does not have.
Thank you.
