In post
#28, I linked to another thread. The first post on that thread has links directly to the firmware you need. You can download 4.30.18838 from
HERE
Scroll down to
VERSIONS and click 'show'
You want 4.30.18838 and the Libra 2 is called
kobo9 on that chart.

What determines whether I need to install this firmware onto the reader at this point? It already has it - it came with this firmware already installed.*

Before you plug your Kobo into a computer, before you download any files whatsoever, go to the home screen of your Kobo, click
More/Settings/Device information
Right in the middle of the screen you should see Software Details/Software version. You just want to make sure the number you see there matches the number on the files you are downloading.

Replace the four yaml files with the ones I've edited.

I would recommend you do NOT do that. As mentioned, I believe the reason the .bat file is crashing immediately is because you have something wrong in one of the .yaml files you edited. So don't start all over again and import broken files.
Easy suggestion:
Delete all the patches you have downloaded so far. Start from scratch with a new download of the patches.
Import the firmware. Don't change anything and run the .bat file. That should at least show you the .bat file will work properly.
Once you see that the .bat file works, then open libnickel.so.1.0.0.yaml.
Search for Enable advanced settings for all fonts.
Change no to yes.
Save.
Run the .bat file again.
Make sure it doesn't immediately crash like it was.
If all goes well, import the new KoboRoot.tgz in the out folder to the .kobo folder on the Libra s.
Eject the Libra 2. It should think for a few seconds and then autorestart. Once that is done, you should have advanced font controls.
I am overly explaining the steps and going into too much detail for clarity. I promise, once you do it, patching the Kobo is pretty easy. I'm no computer wizard myself.
