If you do increase the font size, you will get a slightly larger space before the footer as a full line won't fit. And the line height also makes a difference in the spacing. I just happen to have the font size and the line height set such that it runs close. And you can set the left/right margins via the UI easily if you want larger.

Here are the patches for my custom footer style/size for 3.18.0.
Code:
<Patch> patch_name = `Custom reading footer style` patch_enable = `yes` # Multi-version patch: 3.15.0 - 3.18.0+ # # This patch customises the following properties of the reading footer: # # * Footer height (the amount of the screen reserved for the footer.) # * Caption font size (Caption = page number or other progress indicator) # * Caption top margin, which changes its vertical position within the footer. # # When editing the replacement values below, BE CAREFUL NOT TO CHANGE THE LENGTH # OF THE REPLACEMENT STRING! If a replacement string is too long you will get # an error when making the patch, but if one is too short then there will be no # error, but strange things will happen to the reading footer. # find_base_address = `ReadingFooter {\n\tmin-height: 70px;` # # Replacement footer height values: Touch/Mini replace_string = 0011, `min-height: 70px;`, `min-height: 32px;` replace_string = 0024, `max-height: 70px;`, `max-height: 32px;` # Replacement footer height values: Glo/Aura replace_string = 0085, `min-height: 82px;`, `min-height: 40px;` replace_string = 0098, `max-height: 82px;`, `max-height: 40px;` # Replacement footer height values: AuraHD/H2O/GloHD replace_string = 00DA, `min-height: 120px;`, `min-height: 030px;` replace_string = 00EE, `max-height: 120px;`, `max-height: 030px;` # # find_base_address = `#caption {\n\tfont-size: 16px;` Replace_string = 0000, `#caption {\n\tfont-size: 16px;\n}\n\n#caption[qApp_deviceIsPhoenix="true"] {\n\tfont-size: 20px;\n}\n\n#caption[qApp_deviceIsDragon="true"] {\n\tfont-size: 26px;\n}\n\n#caption[qApp_deviceIsAlyssum="true"] {\n\tfont-size: 30px;\n}\n\n#caption[qApp_localeName="ja_JP"] {\n\tfont-family: Sans-SerifJP;\n}`, `#caption {font-size: 16px;margin-top: 00px;}\n#caption[qApp_deviceIsPhoenix="true"] {font-size: 20px;}\n#caption[qApp_deviceIsDragon="true"] {font-size: 26px;}\n#caption[qApp_deviceIsAlyssum="true"] {font-size: 30px;}\n#caption[qApp_localeName="ja_JP"] {font-family: Sans-SerifJP;}` # # Replacement caption font size value for Touch/Mini: replace_string = 000A, `font-size: 16px;`, `font-size: 16px;` # Replacement caption font size value for Glo/Aura: replace_string = 0054, `font-size: 20px;`, `font-size: 20px;` # Replacement caption font size value for AuraHD/H2O: replace_string = 008C, `font-size: 26px;`, `font-size: 26px;` # Replacement caption font size value for GloHD: replace_string = 00C5, `font-size: 30px;`, `font-size: 30px;` # # Replacement caption top margin value for all devices: # (A negative top margin moves the caption text upwards, # further from the bezel and closer to the page content.) replace_string = 001A, `margin-top: 00px;`, `margin-top:-10px;` # # Uncomment to use a fixed replacement caption font family, for all devices: # (You can change Avenir to another font name of your choice, but Avenir or # Georgia are recommended because other fonts may not be loaded when the book # is first opened and so might cause problems. Unlike other strings it is OK # if this replacement string is a bit longer or shorter than the original.) #replace_string = 00D7, `#caption[qApp_localeName="ja_JP"] {font-family: Sans-SerifJP;}`, `#caption {font-family: Avenir;} </Patch> <Patch> patch_name = `Custom footer` patch_enable = `yes` # Multi-version patch: 2.8.1 - 3.18.0+ # # Changes the footer text with something shorter # (not sure how it affects translations) # find_base_address = `Page %1 <i>of</i> %2` replace_string = 0000, `Page %1 <i>of</i> %2`, `%1 / %2` </Patch> |

It is a lot of work to maintain the first post, and it will be even a lotter more work to try to keep track of the changes, especially as some people seem to have problems while others are problem-free. |

Let's not argue about which features are most important. Plenty of people use things like FullScreenReading=true, and plenty of people get along without it. It's not a race!

It's not a bug when it's not beta and not meant to be used. Find some other term to call it because bug is incorrect. |

Imagine how much (more sigh) disaster by example Windows would be if the Microsoft designers are acting the same "oh it is not documented so don't bother it.. " "Messing around" and find something that is not intended to be found but still can let,in the worse case scenario and not with this "bug", crash the device is something that must be told to the developers. A bug is a bug,even when it isn't in a documented part of the software, we can not know which else it does,and what else can trigger it. Kobo build it into their software so they are going to do something with it, a lot of other options in the config file doesn't work anymore,this option is still there and we have no idea if it can be triggered by a normal feature of the device until someone discovers it. If a never used software routine would be still in the I.S.S. station (i know there are some) and an action of one of the astronauts by accident trigger it,and the whole station vaporised.. i know for sure the developers down here would call it a bug, documented or not. |

I like using Charis on my Glo HD but I'm getting problems with split lines of text, like the text is cut off, the top half of the words are at the bottom of the page with the bottom of the words on the top of the next page. It's only happening with Charis, not the stock fonts.
Any idea how I can stop that? |
