Caudex 1.07
Caudex version 1.07 should work perfectly on Kobo devices without any changes, just unzip the TTF files into the /fonts directory on the device, safely eject, and reboot the device.
Version 1.06 fixed some problems that caused the KePub reader select the wrong font styles (bolditalic instead of regular etc.) Version 1.07 has a new hyphen-minus glyph that sits at the same height as a hyphen, but with the spacing of a minus sign. This font has good basic kerning, and includes the old-style 'kern' table needed for kerning to work in the KePub reader. It has no ligature substitutions enabled, but the hood of the f is very short and so the usual ligatures ff, fi, fl, etc. are not needed anyway. View a specimen at Google fonts.

Kobo dictionaries are poor, but not allowing searching for French or Dutch makes it much worse. |

Kobo can't change this without reworking their deal with the owners of those dictionaries, but we can. |

Well, In comparison to the 3.15.0 firmware, the latest 3.19 firmware is faster. But given that there is supposedly newer firmware due out in maybe a month, you might be best to wait for that one.

If you are basing that on my reply to murg's comment, I said at least a month. If you have other evidence, post away. And if you have a wildly speculative rumour, post that even faster. They tend to be more fun

Also, Kobo is going to give us the full Oxford English dictionary for free as part of the new firmware. And finally, every single bug is going to be fixed and Kobo is going to fix every singe bug in RMDSK as well as make it 100% compliant to ePub 2. |

I heard a rumour that Kobo will add a brand new feature - provisionally named 'Kindle-ify My Kobo'. When selected all Kobo customisation options are disabled and screensaver cover images are replaced with ads for things you don't want to buy. |

There's also going to be a dumbed down mode where you only get three choice for layout and none of them are what you want.

Caudex has been updated to version 1.06. This version includes fixes to the PANOSE profile and TTF names that prevented the previous version 1.05 from working properly with the KePub reader.
