I found problems with system fonts that can be set to sharpen, but I added fonts that can not be sharpened!
How should we solve it?

I have set it to “yes”!
But my kobo aura one font Aa which there is no advanced option。
what reason?I use the ttf fonts!
I don't think that patch is for any recent version of the firmware. You need to use the patch for the exact firmware version that your device is running. For version 4.2.8283 it looks like this:
Spoiler:
Code:
<Patch>
patch_name = `Freedom to advanced fonts control`
patch_enable = `yes`
#
## This patch allows the advanced font options (weight/sharpness adjustments)
## to work with sideloaded fonts too. (KEPUB: OTF and TTF. EPUB: TTF only.)
##
## WARNING: IT MIGHT NOT BE SAFE TO ENABLE THIS PATCH IF YOUR DEVICE IS SET TO
## A JAPANESE LOCALE OR JAPANESE BOOKS ARE OPENED.
#
# VolumeManager.isJapanese(a) --> False
replace_bytes = 5E83D8, C3 F6 76 EA, 00 20 00 20
# N3FontTypeUtil.setupMonotypeDropdown(b,c)
# --> N3FontTypeUtil.setupDropdown(UNDEFINED,b,c)
replace_bytes = 6A7940, 50 46 31 46, 51 46 32 46
replace_bytes = 6A7944, FA F5 08 E9, 16 F6 98 EA
# N3FontTypeController.setupAdvancedOption(...) --> NOP
replace_bytes = 74D064, 8A F5 24 EF, 00 46 00 46
replace_bytes = 74D5B8, 8A F5 7A EC, 00 46 00 46
</Patch>

This patch those not look like the patch patch_kobo_4028283.zip file.

- follow the instruction in post #1
- enable the `Freedom to advanced fonts control` in file libnickel.so.1.0.0.patch, line 240.


EDIT: I didn't see GeoffR already answer

Why are you asking in the thread for patching 4.2.8110? This is the current firmware for the Aura One and it has a significant fix that means you should be using this one.

If you are referring to 'Changing the info panel in full size screensaver' , the patches are in the file nickel.patch.

`Changing the info panel in full size screensaver`- upper left corner
`Changing the info panel in full size screensaver (lower left corner)`

Nope. The same question was also posted in the patch thread for 4.2.8110.

Semantics would dictate that you ask the question regarding the post in the thread it was posted in.

4.2.8283 and beyond will be switching the framebuffer to 32 bit depth. Modifications/code that assume 16 bit will be broken. Kernels will be patched for each generation of device that the update goes out to.
There you go.

Here is what I see for the Freedom to advanced fonts control patch for the 4.2.8283 firmware.

Code:
<Patch>
patch_name = `Freedom to advanced fonts control`
patch_enable = `yes`
#
## This patch allows the advanced font options (weight/sharpness adjustments)

# N3FontTypeUtil.setupMonotypeDropdown(b,c)
# --> N3FontTypeUtil.setupDropdown(UNDEFINED,b,c)
replace_bytes = 6A7940, 50 46 31 46, 51 46 32 46
replace_bytes = 6A7944, FA F5 08 E9, 16 F6 98 EA
# N3FontTypeController.setupAdvancedOption(...) --> NOP
replace_bytes = 74D064, 8A F5 24 EF, 00 46 00 46
replace_bytes = 74D5B8, 8A F5 7A EC, 00 46 00 46
</Patch>
I enabled the patch, ran the batch file, copied the KoboRoot.tgz file into the .kobo folder on my KA1 and safely ejected. The patch installed and restarted my KA1 and I now see Advanced beside the font name box on sideloaded fonts.

I'd suspect that you are not using the right version of the patches for 4.2.8283.

Missing Patches

GeoffR, thanks again for your timely and very helpful work. I like this new firmware and, whether placebo effect or not, find everything to be a bit snappier.

Question: I know the patch for removing non-system fonts dropped out a few patch sets ago, but is that because it won't work on these newer firmwares? Can I try cutting and pasting from your earlier patch into this latest one, or is that likely to get me into total reset land?

Same question for the brightness fine control patch.

Many thanks in advance.
