Plug your in your Kobo to your computer.

In the .kobo > Kobo directory on your Kobo, edit Kobo eReader.conf (if using Windows, use a text edutior such as Notepad++ to keep theline endings correct) and add...
[code][Reading]
webkitTextRendering=optimizelegibility

If you already have [Reading] then don't add that line.

Then when this and the better hyphenation dictionary, you will have hyphenation.
Ok, my config file looks like this now (I only copied the Reading paragraph).

Quote:
[Reading]
chapterProgressType=3
invertPageTurnButtons=true
newBookProgressType=0
numPartialUpdatePageTurns=10
readingAlignment=left
readingFontFamily=Literata Book
readingFontSharpness\Bookerly=-0.06
readingFontSharpness\Caecilia=-0.246666666666667
readingFontSharpness\Literata%20Book=-0.0666666666666667
readingFontSize=38
readingFontWeight\Bookerly=0.11
readingFontWeight\Caecilia=-0.085
readingFontWeight\Literata%20Book=0.1
readingLeftMargin=6
readingLineHeight=1.2
readingRightMargin=6
webkitTextRendering=optimizelegibility
I also copied the Spanish dictionary on the .Kobo folder. Can I delete the KoboRoot.tgz from the device?

It looks better now. Far better. With justified turned on it's much smoother. If I turn it off, it stills looks ugly with big chunks of white spaces between some words. The same paragraph with justified on, looks just perfect. Is this a normal and expected behavior? It is like it doesn't apply hyphenation with the justification turned off.

And last but no least. If I don't apply patches to my Kobo, I will have to install the dictionary after a firmware update, right?

Thank you. I really appreciate your help. You have just improve my favorite gadget and made it even better.
