I have not read about anyone having an problem with sleep mode with a Forma. The last time I read about a problem with sleep mode it was due to a problem with the sleep cover.

What font do you have used for reading? It just can happen when a third-party font is used. Due to incorrect settings for the line height in the metric.

Glad to hear that, so sleep mode it is again (I used to constantly let in sleep mode my other e-readers from the past, Kobo Mini, Kindle Paperwhite, Voyage, Oasis).

Bookerly (not to be picky, but I didn't find any font that suits me as bookerly does).
Shoud I do / check something with FontForge, in order to (eventually) fix that ?

I already wrote to you above how to quickly check ... Put standard Kobo font, for example Georgia, and see if there will be the same error ...

If not, it's a matter of the font, you need to fix it using FontLab or FontForge.

This is the most obvious thing that comes to mind when seeing your mistake, but here 2 pages are about nothing ...

JSWolf · 04-26-2021, 12:11 PM

Where did you get your copy of Bookerly? Bookerly is not without problems and may need to be fixed.

I agree with trying Georgia as it's one of the fonts that come with the Kobo.

I've missed your comment, I'll check asap, thanks.
A lot of pissed people here it seems...
I'm quite polite I think, and I force nobody to answer; I don't know why people tend to overreact (by the way, paternalistic tone is optional).

I honestly don't remember, considering I use it since few years, with various e-readers.

@Semwize
It works properly with Georgia, so I'll try to fix my Bookerly files.
Could you please tell what I have to do (if not obvious, when I'll be in the above-mentioned software) ?
Thanks again.

EDIT : I've just installed FontLab 7, let's find out how it works.

Semwize · 04-26-2021, 01:42 PM

Open the fonts with a program of your choice (FontLab or FrontForge), and transfer the values from the Georgia font metric to Bookerly. And change all styles: regular, italic, bold and bold italic.

Alternatively, just search on github for the Bookerly font, there are quite a few of them.

Since you don't know where Bookerly came from, I suggest dumping it. There is an LCD version out there as one of the pirated versions. I suggest you grab Bookerly from the Kindle firmware and add hinting as well as fixing the problem with the bold italic version. All the information you need is here on MR. But finding it is another story.

And it will be the same ... There, the metric needs to be changed, as and in Amazon Ember.

Bookerly, by the way, is a so-so font, it is not clear - where does it get so many fans from. However, this is a matter of habit and taste.

I'm quite sure it's from Kindle firmware, even if I'm not 100% sure.
What I do know is that I have the 1.020 version.
BTW, isn't it better than 1.00 version ?
What I'm sure of, knowing me and my habits, is that I didn't take the first one found anywhere.

My guess is because Caecilia is a truly awful font and Bookerly is better even though not that much better.

Latest version 1.020

They are the same, when I compared (3 years ago) I did not find any differences.

I have some version eInk Bookerly installed on my Kobo. I've basically given up on it as I don't really care for slab serif fonts.
