Adding ARIAL or HELVETICA FONTS in KOBO AURA HD
Hi all,
I recently had to regenerate my Kobo Aura HD... after a long day I now have it again with all my books. However opening the book I was reading I discovered that the font I was used to (arial - helvetica) is no more present in the list. May be it is something related to the update but I like to read in that font. Is there any way to add it to my kobo? I've asked to Kobo support but they told that this is not a standard and supported feature. Any suggestions? Thank you ! Chiara |

I don't think Arial has ever been a font supplied by Kobo, so you must have sideloaded it. You will need to find a copy of the font and redo that. The instructions for sideloading fonts are in https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=204363.

Never spotted Arial on my Aura HD. It's a commercial font family created by Monotype, especially created for low resolution displays ... the Auro HD has a high resolution display, so why should Kobo license a font that was created especially for much inferior screens?

If you run Windows, you can get a copy of Arial from Windows.
