Thank you very much for your detail guide. I just find out this maybe the bug of new firmware. Maybe wait for next release.

I had a look inside these Vietnamese dictionaries. The font-size problem seems to arise from the fact that each word definition uses an HTML <table> structure, rather than the usual <div>, <blockquote>, <p>, <ol>/<li> structures common in Kobo builtin and custom dictionaries posted on MobileRead. I don't think I've seen a dictionary with tables before.
I'm at a loss as to exactly why a <table> should default to displaying so small (about 50% of 'normal'), nevertheless I think it can be fixed without too much extra effort using the latest firmware 4.25.15875 and a small custom addition to the kobopatch mentioned by DNSB.
This patch as-is will allow you to change dictionary font-size but it will affect the font-size of all dictionaries you use. If you're already a kobopatch user and this is an acceptable result, then it's your simplest solution.
If this isn't an acceptable result then I can post a small patch addition which should target only the dictionary text in tables to display bigger, i.e. it should fix these 2 Vietnamese dictionaries without making the text too large in other dictionaries. If you want to pursue this then I need to know that you're already comfortable using the kobopatch system and that you've already updated your Kobo to fw 4.25.15875.
The colours in the attached screenshot appear because they are hard-coded in the dictionary but obviously you're not going to see them in real life on the Kobo.
