How likely it is that 'advanced settings for sideloaded fonts' patch gets merged into the official firmware?
A few fonts of mine definitely need some weight to be added, but I'd never mess with the firmware for a reason like this one. It's 2020, and even Kindle devices allow users to manipulate sideloaded fonts as a default behaviour...! |

then I took the "regular" version of the font and replaced it with the "medium" version. |

I am aware of that workaraound, but some of these fonts don't have a Medium weight.
Does it happen often that patches are merged into the official firmware? |

Does anyone know if it'd be possible to reduce the minimum backlight level below the current 1%? I've always found the backlight on the Aura One to be too bright to use in bed when it's the only light source, even at warmest setting on 1%, but I'm not sue if this is a hardware or firmware limitation.

There is one thing to note. There is a bug where the fonts don't show the newly adjusted weight after you adjust. A reboot will get the fonts to display in the correct weight. You will still be able to see the new weight in the adjustment screen. |

My apologies ahead of time if any of this is in the first 1700+ posts in this thread...
I just got my Kobo Libra H20 last week, but have been using it every day. My biggest *drives-me-nucking-futs* complaint would be with bringing up the Reading Menu and turning pages. Inadvertently touch the screen and the menu comes up. How'd that happen? Try to bring it up, and it doesn't. Touch the screen and the page turns. Which way - forward or back? I spend damned near as much time just getting back to my place as I do reading. I've been through the settings, tried them all, doesn't get any better.

It would be nice if Kobo had a Reminder function or something like that to remind me when to stop reading.. I keep losing track of time while I'm reading and forget to do something.

Oh yes- one more thing. This might not exactly be a feature but I TERRIBLY wish Kobo could use a standard dictionary with more words. The current one is horrible.

When my battery is down to 10%, there is a window that pops up reminding me to recharge. I'm quite certain of this because it happened yesterday. |
