You can do it by overriding the built-in 'Avenir Next' system font throughout the whole GUI. It requires you to: - Choose any custom font (4 files regular, italic, bold, bolditalic)
- Use a font editor (e.g. FontForge, TTFEdit) to change the internal fontname from whatever to Avenir Next in all 4 files
- Change the external filenames to Avenir Next.ttf, Avenir Next-Italic.ttf, etc
- Sideload the 4 files to /fonts like any other sideloaded font
- Reboot the Kobo
It's still not a perfect solution because immediately after any full reboot the Kobo will use the built-in 'Avenir Next' rather than your sideloaded version. You need to force the Kobo to load it's sideloaded fonts. There are some tips in post #2 of this thread. Once your sideloaded font has been accessed it will remain available until the next reboot, i.e. it will survive Sleep mode. |
This is a great little trick that gets the page numbers changed to whatever you want. Thanks for this tip.
I do something similar because of my crappy eyesight to always force bolder fonts. I just make a copy of my preferred font for bold and bold italic, then simply rename the copies to -Regular and -Italic, load them onto the reader and I always have the bolder font. I only rename the file names, it works without having to load them into a font program to do internal renaming.
Thanks again for keeping us really picky readers happy!
