Since I don't like most of the default fonts, there is any way to delete them?

Does this update do everything which the patch does, including the narrower line spacings? Does it allow sideloaded fonts to be weighted?

Is it preferable to the patch?

My kobo doesn't automatically update because the wifi is never switched on. Is the latest update worth having?

It only allows for increasing or decreasing the weight of the font. Line spacing still needs a patch.

Should the library also sort first books from Kobo and then sideloaded? Perhaps with an obvious line separating them?
No, these are the fonts that Kobo supplied and the fonts they didn't. Separating them actually makes it easier for me to find the few sideloaded fonts I have added.

As to books, I don't want them separated. But, I also don't think the two things are comparable. Of course, there is a way to only see purchased books or only sideloaded books, so yes, they can be separated as if they have cooties.

Isn't line spacing part of the regular, non-advanced font settings? Am I missing something?

(Though I always patched to enable Advanced, in actuality, I rarely used it.)

There's a patch allowing you to fine-tune your line spacing more. I use it and find it very useful.

I certainly couldn't do without added weight, but then I'm awfully fussy about the way the text looks.

But that's an additional patch, not the Enable Advanced patch.

I guess I'm just wondering: what (if anything) is the difference between enabling the Advanced patch and not, now in firmware 4.32?

You cannot enable the Advanced patch in 4.32, as it's been removed.

There's no difference in how the text looks, as far as I can see. My text looks the same in 4.32 without the Advanced patch as it did before with the Advanced.

When I went through the patch which enables the Advanced Options (with great difficulty - I had to use someone else's yamls) I remember seeing options to enable finer line spacing. You either enabled this patch, or didn't.

In practise it lets you have the lines closer together. There are some fonts which are naturally widely spaced and this 'patch' improves their appearance.

These are the my line 10 and 24 patches, they allow for smaller line spacing options. Handy for those of us who either prefer fonts which happen to have naturally wide line spacing, or who just like to cram as much text on the screen as possible.

Again, that you are talking about a different patch.

I am talking about: Enable advanced settings for all fonts

And you are talking about: My 10 line spacing values

Global search would be a neat trick,, if it didn't come packaged with indexing woes. As it is, I would call that more of a misfeature on Kindles,, and am really amazed they haven't thrown it out yet.

They're both part of the same font patch package.

This is the MR page which told me how to use the 4.30 font package. I won't bother you with the long thread in which various peeps tried to help me apply it.

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=342717

There is now a patch for the new firmware. Please don't try to use the one in the thread mentioned above.
