What is 4.34's font list?
In the Kobo Utilities thread, I posted a patch that adds the new Rakuten fonts to the 'set font' dialog.
However: Quote:
Can anybody else confirm what 4.34's font list is? |

That's strange to me. Why wouldn't there be one NotoSans font with Latin, Arabic and Hebrew (etc) glyphs? A sort of superset font IYSWIM, instead of several subset fonts?

On my new Clara 2e, also on 4.34 they are not there. Different firmware/hardware, different changes? |

My guess is that makes it a larger font and if we don't need Arabic and/or Hebrew, then we don't need a larger font.

@ownedbycats,
After a bit more digging around, I suspect it's only the Clara2E where the 3 fonts are completely missing. The last firmware zip file which contained them was 4.33.19759 but they were gone in 4.34.20097, 4.35.20400. But (so far) Kobo has made no attempt to remove existing font files already installed on a device. The first general release firmware which included a mark10 version for the Clara2E was 4.34.20097. So every model except the Clara2E will still have old copies of the 3 fonts installed. |

Yes, you said they were downloaded on demand. I just don't understand why the Kobo firmware doesn't have a version of NotoSans with those extra glyphs out of the box. Surely that's simpler than downloading a font over the net and then loading it separately?

simpler, probably, but then again most users would never need those fonts and the little saved space and less cluttered font list is a plus. The same goes with the additional dictionaries you can download.

From Kobo's point of view, my guess would be that they don't want the added hassle of having to maintain a fork of the Noto fonts which combines the scripts they support into a single file -it's probably easier for them to just use the files provided by Google and add in whatever e-ink optimizations they put in. Did it delete your sideloaded font files when it downloaded its Hebrew fonts? I used to have Noto Sans Hebrew (which I prefer for Yiddish on e-ink), and it deleted those files when it download Noto Serif Hebrew. I re-added them and it's not removed them since, but I thought it was rather peculiar that they were deleted in the first place. |

jackie_w seems to be right about it being specific to the Clara - comparing firmwares shows the fonts were overwritten out on Clara but not H2O.
