Patching firmware 4.0.7523

I don't dare use them on my One (4.0.7523).

Why? I remember the two Japanese fonts seemed to cause problems when first introduced, but, I haven't noticed any recently. As to the other two, I can understand not wanting to use them, but "don't dare use them" seems a bit harsh.

It is the patches I don't dare use. And since I sideloaded 17 fonts, eliminating 4 I never use would mean one less arrow down when choosing a font.

It might seem too much, but every book has its font of choice.

For instance some of my favorite fonts have an β I don't care for, so for German I choose Liberation Serif, or Candara for a wide Sans Serif, or Arsenal for a narrow type (for poetry with long lines).

For the Calibre Catalogs, which I use a lot, I like a neither narrow nor wide sans serif, with good balance between regular/italic/bold, so usually Noto Sans or Ubuntu.

More generally, I read many books in parallel, fiction classical or genre, non-fiction on a variety of subjects, and poetry with more or less long lines, and I like to adapt the font to the book.

Plus when I used one font for long over many books, before I added enough to have a good choice, I got tired of it. This is the pleasure of Kobos: adapting the typography to the book like paper books do.

The extra bonus of ereaders respective to paper for my problem eyes is I can adapt the font and its thickness to how my eyes feel and the light level: reading at night means tired eyes and very low light, and I can change to a wider font as well as increasing the thickness and/or the size. So for one book the details of the font vary with the light.

I have many mass market paperbacks I can't read any more: characters too small and fuzzy, yellowing paper.

OK, that's different.

Installing these patches is very safe. They are only slightly more dangerous than installing a firmware update. At the worst, you will have to do a factory reset. And if you don't like them, simply reinstall the current firmware over the current installation.

If you are worried about needing to do a factory reset, then take a copy of the book partition before starting. Copy everything. Then, if you do get into trouble, you can do a factory reset and restore these files afterwards and you are back were you started.

So if something goes wrong I can just do a factory reset, and then replace the .adobe..., .kobo, .kobo-images (that is first delete than copy) and add all the book files and font)? Would it be safer to preserve the root files and replace contents (including dictionaries)? I've never tried that - when replacing a dictionary I first renamed the original one as advised elsewhere: is that an unnecessary step?

You need to replace ALL the files on the book partition. If you take a full copy of partition, and then restore that later, you will be back were you started. I have done this a lot of times when testing things. The only problem is how long it takes to copy the files each time I do it. But, that's just me being impatient.

I don't dare use them on my One (4.0.7523).

You mean the ones that overwrite the font with a zero-length file, such as in this post? Those files should still work on any device with firmware 4.0.7523, because the font names haven't changed.

Removing OpenDyslexic should have no bad effects. I can't be sure about the effects of removing the Japanese fonts, but if it didn't cause any problems for you in previous firmwares then it will probably be okay in this one too.

Well I tried the Kobo Nickel and Open Dyslexic one, which worked fine on my Glo HD and H2O, but it didn't work for the One - though it doesn't seem to do any harm either.

Thank you.

* I only have kobo glo so i don't know how the it works on other devices specialy on Aura One.
* I didn't try those pathces because i didn't upgrade to FW 4.0.7523.

Thank you, I've used the patches for covers in library and book details and they work perfectly in Kobo Aura One.

I add Instructions to CSS nickel patch, I hope I made it more understandable.

Thank you, I could install on my Kobo Glo. Worked perfectly. Even my device was "dead", and it was as if I rise again.

Hi there,

I used the 24lines spacing patch, and I have issue as specified here

# Beware that the KePub reader has problems with its page break position
# when narrow line spacings are selected, depending on which font is used.
# You can customise the replacement values at the bottom of each patch to
# avoid those problems, or else simply refrain from selecting narrowest
# line spacings when reading KePubs.

I'd like to fix it, but don't know which are the replacement values to customise.

Thanks for your help

EDIT : Ok, I get it

Hello Oren, I still don't understand
Is that possible to use your patch and the GeoffR one ?

I'm only interested in patching dictionnary size.

thank you

Yes it's possible.
GeoffR also patch the nickel file, so if you enable one of the patches, `Disable reading footer` or`Custom reading footer style`, in "nickel.patch" file, Step 3-4 is now:

Extrcat the "nickel" file from GeoffR Patcher, "patch_kobo_4007523\4.0.7523_target\koboroot.tgz\u sr\local\kobo\nickel", to the folder.

The rest of the steps are the same.

[frenshprince]

Thank Oren, I think I understand.

I need to install Python, and evreytime I ll change some stuff in the GeoffR patch, I'll have to do the steps again.

I saw that Dico Size patch was include in 3.19 GeoffR patch.
Is there a particular reason you separated it for the 4.00 ?

Only if you change the file "nickel.patch".

The reason is that Kobo moved the code from libnickel.so.1.0.0 to nickel and compressed it to CSS string, so it no longer accessible with GeoffR patcher.
