reMarkable is a paper tablet by https://remarkable.com/.
The reMarkable tablet is the best e-paper in the market. However, it does not have built-in support for CJK (Chiniese, Korean and Japanese) users.
Luckily, this could be resolved by installing CJK fonts on the tablet.
- Go to
Preference > Storage > Enable USB web interface (Beta). - Connect reMarkable with your PC via a microUSB cable.
- SSH to the device as user "root" using the password find in
Preference > About. e.g.ssh root@10.11.99.1 - Download "NotoSansCJK[you language]-Regular.otf" from https://www.google.com/get/noto/help/cjk/ *note, there is limited space on the device, so do not sue "Super OpenType/CFF Collection (Super OTC)", an language-specific OTC is ok.
- Copy (using SCP or whateever tools you like) to
/usr/share/fonts/opentype/ - Make sure the uploaded font file has the corrent permission (it should be 644).
- Run
fc-cache -f -vto refresh to font cache. - Reboot the device
reboot. (or use the physical button) - Read a book in your language, set the font as "Noto Sans" in
Text settings. - Done!
- Note: CJK Serif Fonts does not work even if I have installed OTF on the device and select Noto Serif, not sure why. Noto Sans is good enough though!
Really appreciate this post. I just want to add a small update. I'm using Remarkable 2 (firmware version 3.8.2.1965). I copied NotoSansKR-Regular.ttf to /usr/share/fonts/ttf/ instead (in the Noto package I downloaded, I don't have any otf fonts) and refresh the font cache as instructed. It works like a charm! Thanks again!
