You can add or remove fonts to this file as desired.

There is probably a more elegant solution, as I just scratched the surface of fontconfig to do this, but it worked for me. It allows for the Aa dialog to fit more custom fonts if that is your desire. I just like the fact that the box is once again small enough that you can see the text above/below, thus getting a live preview of your settings.

Thank you. That looks easy enough - I am a little leery yet as to install usbnetwork - I suppose that is what I need to access the root of all evil ( / ). After all I do spend the majority of my PW time reading instead of fiddling with it. I would hate to be responsible for breaking my Kindle by changing or deleting the wrong file.

I'll keep this in mind though. As for stock fonts - I rather do like MT Chinese Surrogate - it is a nice heavy font (at least when reading english with it). Having the live preview back would definately be a plus if changing fonts often.

update: Finally got around to get rid of them. Looks a lot better this way
