change of koreader menu fonts

danielk1591 · 05-23-2021, 01:26 PM

I have fun translating or completing koreader's menus with Hosted Weblate.
I would also like to change some fonts to improve the aesthetics of the various menu layouts. This change does not work with a copy paste. Is it possible to change the fonts?

Changing stuff for yourself is pretty easy. The function

Code:

Font:getFace(font, size, faceindex)

uses a font face & size maps: https://github.com/koreader/koreader...t.lua#L39-L104

You just need to replace the font faces & sizes on each Font:getFace() invokation you'll want to change.

Submitting changes upstream is harder, as you need to reach consensus.

Not that said fontmap can be overridden (via a `fontmap` table in the settings), no need to carry a patch

.

Hello, after a nightly update my custom fonts have gone in favor of the original fonts. Koreader, moreover very pleasant to use, is quite locked.

sorry but, not being an English speaker, I do not understand the meaning of your message translated with google

Bonjour NiLuJe,
Could you tell me more about how to save my custom fonts after updating koreader?
I guess it's the yellow highlighted part of 'koreader / reader.lua' that needs to be changed but I don't know how.
thanks in advance
