Kobo's built-in Georgia may (???) be adequate for the built-in dictionaries but if you're sideloading custom dictionaries you'll probably need something better.
Which font is "better" will vary depending on those dictionaries. Currently there are 2 workarounds:
- Sideload the "better" font and use the `Dictionary text font-family/font-size/line-height` patch in the kobopatch system to specify this better font.
- Give a facelift to the whole Kobo GUI by replacing the built-in Georgia with the "better" font (internally renamed to masquerade as Georgia).
ETA: In case it helps, the char you quoted, "o͞o", is present in Arial. This is what I use in for my dictionary widgets using option 1. above.
