Instructions for patching firmware 4.14.12777 - Page 2

jackie_w · 05-24-2019, 03:07 PM

I just thought I'd pass on an observation about the nickel 'Custom reading footer style' patch in fw 4.14.12777...

The last option, which lets you force set the font-family for the 'Page x of y' caption, doesn't appear to be working anymore.

I don't think this is due to a problem with the patch. I suspect Kobo have changed something elsewhere and that the patch settings are being overwritten at a later stage.

This caption option may not be being used by many people, but I thought I'd post my thoughts. OTOH, if you're a long-time user and it's still working OK for you, perhaps you could let me know, so I can figure out why mine isn't working.

Hey guys, I was wondering if you could help me with something.
I want to set the same base font size for all of my kepubs (say 1em). I was looking at the "Kepub stylesheet additions" patch to do it. I imagined it would be something like "p {font-size: 1em !important;}", but I can't figure out how to add it through the patch. At first I thought about modifying one of the example patches that are already present, but I already use the "Make full justification the default", and for the patch to go through you can only uncomment one of the three (probably because they have the same offset value). Do I have to create a new "ReplaceString" line with a different offset value, and if so, how do I choose what value to use?
Thank you in advance to anybody who can help!
