The problem is that I have all my Claras set to the same margins, font, font size, line spacing and the rest of the reading layout stuff, but with the 4.30.18838 unit I'm unable to get the exact same font size I have in my other Claras. One step in font size is smaller than the font in the 4.26 Claras I'm using as a reference and the following is bigger. I'm testing with the same kepubs in all 3 devices.

I'm using the "Custom font sizes" patch, along with "Enable advanced settings for all fonts". Looking at libnickel.so.1.0.0.yaml, it says about the "Custom font sizes" patch that



I guess that this is what is making font sizes different between 4.26 and 4.30. I'm wondering if I can alter the patch values to match the sizes produced by the "Custom font sizes" patch over older firmwares such as 4.26.16704.

This is pretty cryptic to me:



But I wonder if I can get my old sizes back by altering those values.
I used replacement values from the old patch with the hope things would stay mostly the same. Sorry it hasn't quite worked for you.

You will probably want to modify the middle group (# Add font sizes in increments of 1 until this size exceeded). You will want the change the value of Replace: xx. For example, to add more 1-step increments, change 43 and 44, note the # Continue from this font size values MUST be one more than the Replace value in the preceding line.
