Dictionary page font size

I used a Kindle for a few years, now KoboLibra2. The only problem I have is fontsize of dictionary pages. When I look up a word in any dictionary offered by Kobo (I use their Ebook service) the fontsize on any dictionary page has an unchangeable small font. Obviously I have no problem with the reading material fontsize or lighting - both brilliantly (pun) tailor-able.

Search as I might I see no way to change the fontsize of these support pages.

As I read in my second-language I use the dictionary word lookup I guess much more than many.

I’d gladly change readers if that would solve my short-sight issue. Any thoughts very welcome. Thanks in anticipation.

I believe there is a patch that allows you to customize the font size in dictionaries. I haven't tried it, so can't comment on its performance.

Sirtel first thanks very much. You, and other posters here who seem to have success with patches, led me to be brave and look at patches - something I've always avoided. That led me to look at Beta functions on my Libra2. I'm guessing they are patches with "user has been warned". And there I found "Mode of large print". I tried it before a code patch, as it is on the Kobo interface so I guess I could back out any changes I made. And success. Bit basic but ten times better than what I had. Now back to my reading.
