In the previous firmware version Kobo used footerMargin values of 15 for Glo/Aura, 20 for AuraHD/H2O and 40 for other devices. For this version Kobo changed the values to 170 for AuraHD/H2O and 105 for other devices. The example patches just preserve the values set by Kobo in case they are important for something.

It should be okay to use other fonts for the footer, but if the font has a long name then you will need to edit the first replace_string in the patch to make it fit. (those of you familliar with css might want to delete all the examples and just work with the first replace_string line by itself anyway.)

I suggest Avenir or Georgia because these fonts are used in other places in the UI, so they are probably already in the device's memory, but you will have to experiment and see what else works.
