Increasing font size of Footnote Preview
How can I increase the font-size of footnote previews? A Reddit thread suggests using a custom patch. Is there a better way?

Libnickel patch:

Code:
test Pop-up footnote main text font-size:
  - Enabled: yes
  - Description: |
        Change pop-up footnote main text font-size
        fw 4.20.14601 CSS moved to libnickel.so.1.0.0 from nickel???
        Daylight: %1 = 42 ???
  - FindReplaceString:
      Find:    "p { font-size: %1px; line-height: 1.4em; }"
      Replace: "p { font-size: 34px; line-height: 1.4em; }"
      MustMatchLength: yes

I just tested this patch with 4.38.23038 and it does not give any error. So it looks like it's good to apply.

It's odd that this is not included with the official patches, since it works and there's at least some interest.

I'm using it with 50px and 1.2em since I'm using a larger font for the main text.

Thanks for testing.

The official patches require a maintainer who understands how they work and is willing to update them when new firmware gets released. It seems this patch got deprecated due to a lack of a maintainer.

Seems to apply when added to libnickel.so.1.0.0.yaml. No errors at least.
