Aura H2O Help with dictionary font size in latest patch

[Skydog]

I recently upgraded to the latest firmware and need a little help with editing the patch. The extent of my knowledge/experience is "enabled: yes/no." I am attempting to change the font size in the dictionary patch (thank you, jackie_w) but am getting the following:

files: src/libnickel.so.1.0.0.yaml
reading entry contents
loading patch file 'src/libnickel.so.1.0.0.yaml' (detected format kobopatch)
| parsing patch file: unmarshaling to map[string]yaml.Node
--> could not parse patch file: yaml: line 1282: did not find expected '-' indicator

I'm not exactly sure what the "expected '-' indicator" is and where it should be placed. With the exception of my un-commenting, the line (1282) below is unedited:

# Un-comment and edit next line to change font-size
- ReplaceString: {Offset: 15, Find: "%1px", Replace: "32px", MustMatchLength: yes}

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I'm not sure without seeing the whole patch, but the un-commented line 1283

  - ReplaceString: {Offset: 15, Find: "%1px", Replace: "32px", MustMatchLength: yes}

should be indented with 2 spaces before the first hyphen.

If that's what you already have and it's still not working then please post the whole contents of your version of patch Dictionary text font-family/font-size/line-height. Wrap it in CODE tags so that the forum monospace font will display spaces more easily. It's quite a long patch so you'd better wrap it in SPOILER tags, too.

@jackie_w-

I hope this is what you need:

  # Stage 1: Change DictionaryView to remove %variables

      MustMatchLength: yes
  # ##### N.B. Do not change anything above this line #####
  #
  # Stage 2: N.B. You MUST keep old and new strings EXACTLY the same length
  #
  # Notes for changing font-family:
  #   1.  Pad the shorter of the old/new strings with spaces to 
  #       keep same length for both strings (see examples below)
  #
  #   2.  If the new font-family name (max. 29 chars) contains any spaces it 
  #       should be wrapped in 'single quotes' (see examples 2, 3)
  #
  #   3.  To change from Georgia to the Kobo default sans-serif font, Avenir, 
  #       use either one of the following to achieve the same result:
  #       - sans-serif
  #       - 'Avenir Next Medium'
  # 
  # Un-comment ONE ONLY of the following ReplaceString examples 
  #   to change dictionary font-family from default Georgia:
  #     - to a different built-in font
  #     - to one of your sideloaded custom fonts
  #
  #- ReplaceString: {Offset: 54, Find: "Georgia   ", Replace: "sans-serif", MustMatchLength: yes}
  #- ReplaceString: {Offset: 54, Find: "Georgia    ", Replace: "'Gill Sans'", MustMatchLength: yes}
  #- ReplaceString: {Offset: 54, Find: "Georgia      ", Replace: "'Kobo Nickel'", MustMatchLength: yes}
  #- ReplaceString: {Offset: 54, Find: "Georgia ", Replace: "Bookerly", MustMatchLength: yes}
  #
  # Un-comment and edit next line to change font-size
   - ReplaceString: {Offset: 15, Find: "%1px", Replace: "32px", MustMatchLength: yes}
  #
  # Un-comment and edit next line to change line spacing
  #- ReplaceString: {Offset: 34, Find: "1.40em", Replace: "1.30em", MustMatchLength: yes}

Custom navigation menu page number text:
  - Enabled: no
  - Description: Changes the page number text format in the reading navigation menu
  - FindReplaceString: {Find: "Page %1 of %2", Replace: "%1 / %2"}

Note: I have not altered anything other than "enabled:yes"

Thank you,
Patricia

Yes, as suspected, it's an indentation error. You've got one too many leading spaces. The first character hyphen (before ReplaceString) should be directly under the # of the commented line above it.

I never would have figured that out! Now, the desired font size is to be entered in "Replace: "XXpx"??

Update: Success!

Many thanks for your assistance,
