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 -v
to 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!
many of my coworkers are Chinese and are looking to use this, will it convert handwritten text when this font is installed? will this convert menus and such to Chinese as well?
