It is hard to know where to start really, if you don't know C/C++ and some variety of assembly language then there could be a lot to learn to get a real understanding how some of the more complicated patches work.

The basic tools to use are a hex editor for viewing data, and a disassembler for viewing code. You can look at the data/code before and after the patch has been applied to see exactly what it has done.

There is also another approach, using a debugger to watch the firmware live as it runs, but I am not familliar with how to do that.

I am using Linux, I use hexl-mode in Emacs as a hex editor and objdump from the binutils-multiarch package as a disassembler, mainly because that is what I am used to using for programming, but there are probbaly lots of other tools that will do a similar job.

I mainly used sites such as ARM assembler guide guide to learn about ARM assembly language.

If you want to start a thread to ask questions about particular subjects then I'd be happy answer them as best I can.
Thanks - I know some C#, am pretty proficient in VB - easier, than C of course. I will do some playing and if I have time to really learn I will start the thread.

I just tested this on my H2O and it worked. Make sure the font you are trying to adjust is a TTF font or one of the system fonts.

Which Kobo are you using? If it's not your H2O, try that and see what happens.

Oh and double check in the patches that the Freedom to Advance Font Control (or whatever it's called) is marked yes instead of no.

Does not work on gloHD, H2O and ONE. The patch was in 'yes'. Tonight I'll do the patch again.

It's not needed. The last selected search option is remembered. Change it to library the first time, and from then on it will be library.

I still miss it, because I call on a dictionary frequently enough that the first option when I open a book is dictionary and I have to change it to get library.
