For an example of how to do this you can look at uninstall_qms.zip of this post, which deletes some files from the system partition. Do not try it if you do not feel comfortable with this.

Don't do this. If any of the fonts you want to do away with are ones the system uses, you could brick your Kobo.

I thought this patch only makes the system fonts invisible, but keeps the fonts in the external fonts directory visible, but i don't know for sure because I never tried.
The patch is safe, removing manually all fonts from the internal directory looks indeed dangerous.. if there is no font to use of left,then it can't display anything,it would not really be bricked but without anything to display txt the outcome would be the same, or there must be a system font,not present in the drop down part of the reader, that it uses.

However,like you said, I would not manually remove them all out of the internal font directory, So I would try the patch and try my font tip, at maximum nothing shows up on the font list drop down menu, if lucky the external fonts are displayed,but that one can be reverted easy when you undone the patch.

Thanks JSWolf and Nick_1964, for your deep thoughts on the subject. I did not dare to try the method suggested by tshering, as it is too complex and technical for me. Besides, I agree, manually removing some system fonts from the device can result in unexpected drastic results.
However, I may try to use font patches method after fully backing up my device as patching could be undone and I may come back to the beginning point after all.
There are two font patches, for system and non system fonts. The unfortunate thing is, Gothic, Ryumin and OpenDyslexic are treated as non system fonts according to the matazoa patch, and if I wish to remove them, consequently all my other sideloaded fonts too will be removed, which is exactly not desirable.
In either case, finally it may be that I will have to learn living with those undesired fonts on my device.

The current patches can only remove two groups of fonts from the font selection menus, and it has to be the whole group, you can't select individual fonts. The fonts remain available for use by the UI and books (e.g. if the book specifies 'sans-serif' then Avenir will still be used, you just won't see it as an option on the seletion menus):

Group 1: Amasis, Avenir, Caecilia, Georgia, Gill Sans, Kobo Nickel, Malabar, Delima, Felbridge, Rockwell, Times New Roman.

Geoup 2: Gothic, Ryumin, OpenDyslexic, and everything else including sideloaded fonts.


However it is possible to remove individual fonts from the device entirely by replacing them with empty files. I've attached a file removeOpenDyslexic.zip, if you unzip this into the .kobo directory on the device and safely eject, the device will update and restart and the OpenDyslexic font will be gone.

I have tested this on my Glo and it works okay. But when the firmware updates to the next version it will re-install OpenDyslexic, and so you'll have to do this again after each firmware update.

Although this method should work for other fonts too, I would not risk removing Georgia, Avenir, Ryumin, or Gothic as these fonts have special uses in the firmware and I don't know what would happen if they were removed.

Thank you very much GeoffR, for your help removing OpenDyslexic from my device, and also to let me understand the specific behavior of different fonts needed in the proper working of Kobo. I have learned a lot on this forum.

I made a patch 'Changing the info panel in full size screensaver'.
It move the info-panel to the upper or bottom corner, reduce the size, reduce the margin, and make background-color more transparent.
Pictures how it look here.
It's for devices Glo, Aura, Aura Hd\H2O, Touch, Mini.
The info panel is in the top corner, if you want it to be in the bottom corner, change the number.
If your charging in sleeping mode, the text "sleeping" be cut.


Firmware 4.2.8810+, the patch is integrated in GeoffR patcher, nickel.patch.

It move the info-panel to the upper or bottom corner, reduce the size, reduce the margin, and make background-color more transparent.
Pictures how it look here.
It's for devices Glo, Aura, Aura Hd\H2O, Touch, Mini.
The info panel is in the top corner, if you want it to be in the bottom corner, change the number.
If your charging in sleeping mode, the text "sleeping" be cut.

Thanks Oren64!
I used your patch on my Glo (FW 3.19.5613), and it works perfectly. Great Job, I finally got rid of that ugly and big notification of 'Sleeping' on the middle of device. A little, near transparent box at the left corner is much beautiful. Good Karma for you.

Patch 'Dictionary frame size'.
It increase the size of the pop-up dictionary.
It's for devices Glo, Aura, Aura Hd\H2O, Touch, Mini, Aura One, Glo HD.

copy the file "nickel.patch" to 3.xx.x_source folder (ONLY in Multi-version 3.13.1-3.19.5761+).

You can increase the height of the pop-up, by increasing the height frame in "nickel.patch" and the height text in "libnickel.so.1.0.0.patch".

I increase the size of the pop-up dictionary.
It's for devices Glo, Aura, Aura Hd\H2O, Touch, Mini.

copy the file "nickel.patch" to 3.xx.x_source folder.

You can increase the height of the pop-up, by increasing the height frame in "nickel.patch" and the height text in "libnickel.so.1.0.0.patch".

Patches with similar effect have been developed by tshering, including bigger font sizes, viz., 'Modification for bad eyes'. Perhaps you may like to study them.

I just wanted to say that I think night mode is a very basic function that should, oh no : that MUST, be included in every e-readers and it's the reason why I suggested to you to talk about it...

I agree - it would be great if that excellent patch would be included in this patch set. I would love to have Night Mode on my patch H2O.

Although that may be a great additon, the method is different. GeoffR's patch modify little portions of code of the official firmware and the nightmode use a isolated program, called from within a modified system file. So, it's not posible to include here if the code for that isn't integrated into the original kobo code.

One more thing that this patch fix is, that now i can mark the last word in a line to see translation, highlight or write a note.

I didn't know that it change the dictionary size.
the patch use a different platform than GeoffR patches.

You can increase the height of the pop-up, by increasing the height frame in "nickel.patch" and the height text in "libnickel.so.1.0.0.patch".

Unfortunately it does not work on Aura 6".

Strange, did you copy the file "nickel.patch" to 3.xx.x_source folder?

Edit: If you using 3.19.5613 FW, download new version of 3.19.5613 FW patch, and try again.
In 3.13.1-3.18.0 it works okay on my Windows .

Are you using Linux or Mac to create the patch?

The script file for Linux/Mac did not support patching the nickel executable in the past. I have just updated for 3.19.5613 but you might need to download it again to get the latest changes.
