Now I remember - I did manage to remove the .css file on one such library book with Sigil, but when I tried to reimport the saved copy of this book to Kobo, it would not open on Kobo - it said I should re-authorize it with ADE. Last edited by MiuMiu; 05-17-2020 at 08:17 PM. |

There are two patches to make Kobo ignore font-family and line spacing in epub. You have to enable them in two files: this is the related part of the Yaml file (see the instruction for patching, are more simpler to do than to explain)
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=328052 Code:
src/libnickel.so.1.0.0.yaml:
Force user line spacing in ePubs (part 1 of 2): yes
Force user font-family in ePubs (Part 1 of 2): yes
Code:
src/librmsdk.so.1.0.0.yaml:
Force user line spacing in ePubs (Part 2 of 2): yes
Force user font-family in ePubs (Part 2 of 2): yes

Ehm, I tried installing the first patch with Terminal (I have a Mac) and I got this - are things supposed to look like this, has the patch been applied or..? I have no idea about scripts

I copied the firmware and patch files as per instructions and then tried installing the patches by putting them into Terminal on Mac and pressing enter...

My .kobo folder on mac has the following contents - is anything missing, should I put something somewhere else? The instructions state I should put files like this in the .kobo folder...

If you are trying to manually update to fw 4.20.14622 then you need to copy the 3 items from your sub-folder kobo-update-4.20.14622 directly into the .kobo folder before disconnecting from USB and allowing the Kobo to automatically reboot. Your sub-folder kobopatch_4.10.11591 needs to be deleted from the Kobo completely. All kobopatch preparation work is done on your PC/Mac not the Kobo. In addition, never try to use a version of kobopatch whose version number doesn't match exactly the firmware version installed on the Kobo. You've downloaded kobopatch_4.10.11591.zip when you should have downloaded kobopatch_4.20.14622.zip Last edited by jackie_w; 05-17-2020 at 07:33 PM. Reason: removed ETA |

The second is why you are placing the patch files on your Kobo ereader. Download the kobopatch_4.20.14622.zip file and extract the files in it to a directory/folder on your Mac (I use kobopatch as the directory name). Download but do not extract the kobo-update-4.20.14622.zip file ( see Kobo Firmware Downloads for links) and place it in the src directory inside the kobopatch directory. For the purposes of patching, the hardware revision of the downloaded update file does not matter though I generally prefer to grab on corresponding to a Kobo ereader I'm using. Edit the yaml file for the patches you want to install changing no to yes for the patches you want to install. Run kobopatch.sh. My personal preference is to open terminal, cd to the kobopatch directory and use ./kobopatch.sh to execute the file. The first time I run it, it fails and I have to allow it to run from Security and Privacy in System Preferences. The second time, it whines but I can allow it to run. After that, just run it. If it completes successfully, a KoboRoot.tgz and log.txt file will be found in the out directory. Copy the KoboRoot.tgz file to the .kobo directory on your Kobo ereader One caution is that MacOS has the habit of attempting to unpack .zip files for you. I've attached an image of the VM Mac desktop with the kobopatch, KoboEreader and terminal window open. I don't own a Mac, I just run Macs in virtual machines. Much cheaper and easier to cart around than 9 or 10 real computers. |

YEEEEEESSSSSS! It worked!
 ps67, jackie_w and DNSB, I am infinitely grateful for your help and guidance through the procedure, I would have never figured it out myself. Thank you so so so much!

If those steps are done, open the librmsdk.so.1.0.0.yaml with a text editor and change the lines as suggested: Current: Code:
Ignore ePub book Adobe XPGT stylesheet (page-template.xpgt): - Enabled: no Ignore ePub book CSS and Adobe XPGT stylesheets: - Enabled: no Code:
Ignore ePub book Adobe XPGT stylesheet (page-template.xpgt): - Enabled: yes Ignore ePub book CSS and Adobe XPGT stylesheets: - Enabled: yes Now run kobopatch.sh. You should see an output similar to the one in the Terminal windows in my image with APPLY for the two patches being applied and then the sucessfully saved message. Copy the generated KoboRoot.tgz file to the .kobo directory on your ereader. Safely eject. After a short while, it should go into it's firmware install and when finished, you should be good to go. Please not again that this will completely disable the CSS styles within the epub. Last edited by DNSB; 05-17-2020 at 08:05 PM. |

Just reinforce the caution that the version of the patcher must match the version of the software you are running...
I really don't see much difference between the suggested steps in the replies in this thread and those in the Instructions for patching firmware 4.20.14622 thread. Other than my preference for using the command line so I didn't bother with using the GUI to drag the kobopatch.sh into Terminal. I'm already in Terminal so just execute the shell script already. |
