Aura How not to use an italic font?

ohho · 03-07-2017, 04:43 AM

Just got my new Aura One and the device is great. I have a few minor complains, one is the default italic font everywhere, Sleeping, for example.

Q1: is there a way to use a regular font style instead of the italic font?

Q2: is there a way to use a different font for the main interface.

I added a new font by adding a Fonts folder in the device. However, the font is only selectable within a book, but not for the whole system interface. Since some the the characters are missing for some book titles, I'd like to use another font for system interface.

Thanks!

The problem with removing the italics is that they have meaning. Just about anywhere you see italics in the interface, it means something can be done. Tapping on them will probably do something, or long-pressing on it will open a menu. I outlined what I see of the UI standards a while ago.

For the missing characters in the titles, the workaround is to get the appropriate font loaded. Opening a book and selecting the font will load the font and it can be used in the library lists.

As to changing the font generally in the interface, there might be a patch to do it. I don't use them, so I don't really know.
