The instructions are here:

You select the patches you want to install (descriptions are in the file) and change no to yes with the Notepad or its analog.
Is there any particular reason why Kobo doesn’t have kerning enabled by default? Is there an issue with the rendering driving this decision by the company? (I read kepub exclusively)

Now that firmware has advanced font settings enabled for all fonts, the only reason I would have to patch the device is for kerning and ligatures. So I’m wondering if I can make do without patching at all.
