Firmware 2.10.0 Released - Page 11

Joques · 11-05-2013, 06:08 AM

Nope, I tried reconverting without filtering "line-height", and it's still the same. I can't be the only one, can I? Here's a pic of what the page looks like now.

Here's how it looks with Amasis (and all the rest of the fonts): Much more comfortable.

Joques · 11-05-2013, 06:16 AM

Geoff, is it supposed to? In 2.9.0, Amasis and Kobo Nickel had the same line height.

No I don't think so, I think something is screwed up with the Kobo Nickel font metrics in 2.10.0. All other fonts seem to work OK, including the fonts I sideloaded from firmware 1.9.17.

Joques · 11-05-2013, 06:22 AM

Oh good, so it isn't just me. Was worried there for a second :-) Hope they'll fix it in a future update, then.

No, it isn't just you. I didn't have a look before, but now I have I am seeing the same thing with Kobo Nickel. As well as the line heights, Kobo did change something with how the use the font metrics.

GeoffR · 11-05-2013, 06:58 AM

Something seems to be wrong with the covers displayed for Kobo-bought kepubs on the book details page. If I have the wifi disabled, the cover image is not shown, but if I enable wifi then the cover is shown after a short delay.

The cover shown in the book details seems to be downloaded from the server, rather than showing the cover stored on the device. There is no problem with sideloaded epubs (I don't have any sideloaded kepubs to test).

Joques · 11-05-2013, 09:45 AM

Huh. 2.10 has given me a really bad case of the frontlight bug, too. Guess I'll have to go back to 2.9.

Joques · 11-05-2013, 10:59 AM

OH NO! The light bug (frontlight won't switch on as it should when it's at minimum settings) is still with me after I downgraded to 2.9! This is terrible. Is there a simple fix for this one?

eXistenZ · 11-05-2013, 11:13 AM

This light bug is really strange, It is not firmware related in my opinion.

My Glo on firmware 2.8.1 was light bug free, but a few time ago i needed to hard reset it, then reinstalled 2.81 (non the B version) and the bug appeared (same hardware, same firmware), now I upgraded to 2.10 but in is still here.

The problem appears only at 1% light, setting light to 2% was my solution.

Another change I noticed on 2.10:
When you (side)load a new book, it doesn't automatically show up as a tile on your home screen. I applaud that.

If I touch the bottom of a page that shows a picture in a kepub.epub (I tried with DNSB font tester file) twice, the Kobo Touch reboots.
