Notes:

There is a new version of the `Freedom to advanced fonts control` patch: beware that it is not be safe to use this patch if you have your device language set to Japanese or are reading japanese books. If you try this patch, please let me know if you notice any problems.

If you don't want to use the `Freedom to advanced fonts control` patch there is another way to set the weight/sharpness of sideloaded fonts: if you look in your device's config file .kobo/Kobo/Kobo eReader.conf you should find the settings for weight and sharpness for each sideloaded font that you adjusted previously. These still work with the new firmware, and you can add or adjust them manually by editing the file with a text editor. (In Windows don't use Notepad to edit the file, use a text editor that understands unix line breaks, such as Notepad++).

Example for sideloaded "Dark Courier" font:

[Reading]
readingFontSharpness\Dark%20Courier=0.05
readingFontWeight\Dark%20Courier=0.25

The sharpness set by the slider ranges from -0.4 to 0.2 (default -0.0666), and weight from -0.2 to 0.8 (default 0.1).


I've left the PDF patches in libadobe.so.patch disabled by default, if anyone uses them let me know if they still work. I don't read PDFs so I don't test them myself.


There are now two alternatives for the `ePub fixed top/bottom margin` patch: Increased top margin with zero bottom margin; or increased top and equal bottom margin.


Other patches:

If you know of any other patches for firmware 3.11.0, post in this thread and I'll include them in this post.

Some publishers create their books in a way that prevents the line spacing set by the adjustment slider from taking effect. This patch forces the slider line spacing to be used in some of these books (but it might also override some line spacing that it shouldn't in other books).
