Also advertisers/marketing (crayon dept.) deliberately, or due to being inept, confuse people with misleading names and descriptions. In many countries the Advertising Standards organisations are funded by advertisers and they are not proactive. They wait for complaints (and people would rather go on a phone-in show). If the advert is found to breach "guidelines" there is rarely any penalty other than "Don't run this advert again". Actual illegal adverts are self-policed by bill-board companies, papers, magazines, radio, cinemas and TV, because they'd be prosecuted. Internet Social Media etc seem to think that neither local laws or Advertising Standards apply to them. Musk calls it "Free Speech". |

Similarly as paper is white, printing (lithopress, inkjet or laser) uses black as well as cyan, yellow and magenta, though it will "work" without black, but the blacks will be muddy and not as sharp. Higher quality printing uses more colours, because the C Y M scheme (and true on ACeP/Gallery 3) results in much dimmer red, green and blue additive primaries than the cyan, yellow and magenta secondary/complementary colours. The extra shades on inkjet printers are for resolution and better halftones, not improved colours in the sense that paper publishing of "art" books uses more colours. Colour negative film only uses cyan, yellow and magenta layers, (white = clear film, black = cyan, yellow and magenta all at full density) but the printing process can adjust the colours using filters in the enlarger. Of course now colour negative film is scanned rather than being used with photographic paper. Unless there is an unexpected technology breakthrough we won't see a viable ereader using ACeP/Gallery 3. Won't stop someone foolish trying. |

For example, I wanted to use Gill Sans, which Kobo had eliminated on the Clara 2E. I put the encrypted fonts in a folder on my computer, in my case "D:\Kobo Encrypted Fonts". Then I added the instructions in the ADDITIONAL FILES section at the end of the kobopatch.yaml. Code:
## ADDITIONAL FILES ## # Uncomment the following to add additional files to the tgz (like init scripts or hyphen dicts) # The files will be root-owned, and world readable, writable, and executable (0777) files: D:\Kobo Encrypted Fonts/GillSans.ttf: usr/local/Trolltech/QtEmbedded-4.6.2-arm/lib/fonts/GillSans.ttf D:\Kobo Encrypted Fonts/GillSans-Bold.ttf: usr/local/Trolltech/QtEmbedded-4.6.2-arm/lib/fonts/GillSans-Bold.ttf D:\Kobo Encrypted Fonts/GillSans-BoldItalic.ttf: usr/local/Trolltech/QtEmbedded-4.6.2-arm/lib/fonts/GillSans-BoldItalic.ttf D:\Kobo Encrypted Fonts/GillSans-Italic.ttf: usr/local/Trolltech/QtEmbedded-4.6.2-arm/lib/fonts/GillSans-Italic.ttf |

![]() Whether you'll need to re-do it after every firmware upgrade in the future depends on what Kobo have included in the Trolltech subdirectory you referred to.
Which is the more likely of the two is anyone's guess. If Kobo had font licenses which have expired then option 2 is probably more likely. However, if they just fancied a change of fonts then option 1 is possible. Also, I suppose we shouldn't rule out that the space available for all the built-in fonts may be finite. |

Thank you! I'll definitely be using this if it turns out Kobo decided to remove my font of choice from future firmware versions.

Come to think of it, I think you may have not understood what I was talking about. That's OK. English is not my mother tongue, I make mistakes and don't always have the right vocabulary. When I was talking about total dark mode, I meant for the book, the text, the interface, the menus, the dictionary, like it was possible with a patch before, and how Kindle does it. Not the colour "layer" (I don't know how to call it otherwise. And don't give me your course on how colours are made, I learned that in elementary shool. ![]() |

In Elementary school they told us lies about colours, even in secondary school art. Secondary school physics was more accurate. But as I wrote, the post was for the general public. And the colourisation is just a thin printed pattern, a layer, of translucent dots aligned with the pixels. |
