Thank you very much tshering! I have changed as you said and it is displaying Vietnamese well now (font Arial).

tatung2112, I am glad it worked for you.

In the patch for 3.13.1, I see that there are several patches about Library, I have tried to edit and apply these patches but nothing happened. I've tried to edit font-size but yet nothing happen to book title in library.

Hi, I'm Vietnamese too. I trying like you. Dict is ok. But Book title in Kobo is not ok.
Can you Upload 2 file you have edited here. or mail me: huuduc1kk2@gmail.com

The one thing is that you can only make changes to the "newpart", do not try to change the "oldpart". The other thing is, that I would change Avenir to Arial, this would then be effective for any language other than Japanese.

[huuduc1kk2]

Thanks for reply.

I don't understand here:

Why we use ja_JP for this patch, Why we dont use en_GB?.


And i can change like here:

newpart=[qApp_localeName="en_GB"] {\n font-family: Arial;\n}

And i can change like here:

newpart=[qApp_localeName="en_GB"] {\n font-family: Arial;\n}

The code introduced by "oldpart=" is the original code. The first line sets in a general way the font-size to 18px, the font-family to Avenir, and the padding-top to 2px. The second line overwrites the font-family to Avenir if qApp_localeName is set to "ja_JP".

The code introduced by "newpart=" is the code that replaces the original code. If you replace Avenir in the first line by Arial, the effective result is: Use Arial for all cases where qApp_localeName is NOT set to "ja_JP", and qApp_localeName="en_GB" is of course included in those cases. I thought this was what you were after.
If however you want Arial ONLY for App_localeName="en_GB", and for all other cases Avenir, you are right in replacing the original [qApp_localeName="ja_JP"] by [qApp_localeName="en_GB"]. It depends on what exactly you want to achieve by the patch.

Have a look at the patch threads. FW 3.12.1 or maybe 3.13.1 includes a patch to that effect. One user however reported that it does not work. Another possibility is to have a script check whether your dictionary has been overwritten, and if yes, then replace it by a back up of your own dictionary. (There is already somewhere I script, I post it if I find it.)

I do not know a way to prevent this. Since Arial is not loaded on restart automatically, you have to open a book and (maybe also) the fonts menu, to make the font available.

I do it, but the font don't load in the dict. So i patch again, it worked.

newpart=[qApp_localeName="ja_JP"] {\n font-family: A-OTF Gothic MB101 Pr6N;\n}

I have an idea to prevent kobo overwite dict : Can we block ip to kobo server, and when it sync, it only conect to Pocket? Can we do it? If Yes, how we do it

Maybe I do not understand correctly what you are saying. Are you saying that after installing the patched file(s), the dictionary text is displayed in Arial, but only until the next reboot, and then you have to install the files again? Or are you saying that it did not work previously and is working now?

Yes, this is how I would do it. It should have an effect on those elements that depend on it, which ever these might be.

Synchronizing with the Kobo server and synchronizing the Pocket files are not related to each other. I am using Pocket, but I cannot remember the last time I synchronized with the Kobo server. Must have been one or two years or even more. Maybe you have Settings > Syncing and updates > automatic snyc enabled. Try to disable it.

Oh, thanks you! I do it, and it work. Now i know that: I can sync Pocket by open Articles, don't need press sync (I don't know it before, so every time i need sync Pocket, i press Sync on the menu, and then, dict gone away. The only thing i need sync is Pocket! And i think many people like that.

I want to say that. (sorry for my English)

it did not work previously and is working now?

Everything seem ok now. Thanks tshering

Thanks.

Hi, sorry for my late replying. Here is attached files to display Vietnamese title for books and also Pocket article (only working for List, not working for Tile). My firmware is 3.13.1. I changed only font to Arial so inside the files, you can search Arial for changed places.

I confirm that each time you restart Kobo, the font will not be loaded and you need to open a book and open font menu so that Arial font will be loaded.

Hope this helps!

PS: there is one thing that I'm not really satisfied is that the dictionary explanation (Vietnamese dict) does not break line (as it does on computer). But it is enough for me to read the book so I do not take further trying.
