Hi guys,

Interesting discussion is going on here.

I need to copy system fonts partition to cramfsck it, substitute the system font (the one that's responsible for book titles, bookmarks, file names etc. I don't know name of the font

) with my chosen font, mkcramfs it and write back modified fonts partition.

I don't understand why I need the steps to connect the reader in recovery mode to PC, why I don't use the below command with terminal emulator on my PRS T1?

Please, explain in detail I'm having hard time to understand this stuff.

# make a backup of fonts partition
dd if=/dev/mmcblk2p5 of=/mnt/sd/mmcblk2p5_fonts.img
