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. |
GREAT tip! I am actually using this patch but completely forgot about its font editing capabilities. This really helped with the rendition and overall style of the definitions. I already had a modified version of Linux Libertine on the device, so I used that, as it should have more than enough glyphs for anyone's needs. So far it's picked up on all the exotic glyphs. I highly recommend it, it's actually a beautiful
and useable typeface. Slowly but surely, I'm getting better and better results with my tinkering. I'll probably be redoing all my conversions now.
