I've been sharing Gentium font I've edited by PM. JSWolf has his Charis SIL font in this thread. Mine is bolder than his but pretty much the same. Still I am happy to share those two by PM if anyone wants them. The others I can't due to restrictions. |

http://font.ubuntu.com/ By the way. You do not have to edit the font in a complicated way to adjust size, line space ... All you need is a proper software on your reader that lets you set exact size and linespace. I have jailbroken my Kindle PW and installed Coolreader by Crazy Coder. It lets me to set any font size and lets me tweak linespace in a small increments. I have also installed Duokan - alternative Chinese firmware. Duokan doesn't have as many configuration options as Coolreader. Oh ... and in coolreader you are not limited in number of fonts. Well ... you probably are, but the fonts are displayed as a scrollable list, so you can have MANY of them. You are not limited to one screen. |

You can downgrade the Kindle to an earlier firmware, jailbreak it, then upgrade (keeping the jailbreak), and then install JBPatch. It's explained in the jailbreak thread.

Well, to be honest, that was my first impression too. And ... surprisingly ... when displayed in large format on monitor I *still* do not like it much.
But, for reading on an e-ink screen it is the best font for me. I was reluctant to try it, because 'f' and 't' are shaped funny and other letters are quite unusual too, but my friend insisted that I try to reading with this font for at least 30 minutes and I was hooked. ;-) By the way, you can downgrade to 3.5.1 and install jailbreak. |

Downgrading is too much of a risk for my perfect PW. |

Previously I was always shuffling through them, never entirely happy with any of them. The book I'm reading currently is forcing me to use the publisher's font and I hate it. I'm spoiled now. |

Blossom, I'm pretty non-technical, and I just jailbroke my PW, and installed the Collections Manager and the JBPatch (I debated about the screensaver hack, but decided against it - it sounded a bit too technical for me, and I didn't think it would be worth it). It's all worked pretty well with my 5.3.3 device.
I'm actually feeling pretty smug about it. This is the first time I've ever jailbroken anything. (ixtab is a miracle of patience and tolerance for me, on top of his being a technical wizard to create the jailbreaks in the first place.) |
