Custom fonts K4

artcon · 05-11-2014, 01:22 PM

I'm driving myself crazy trying to get custom fonts on my K4 NT.

I've installed the font hack and have changed the system fonts, but how do I change the font in the actual books? Because I thought they would change along with the system fonts but it still shows just the regular, condensed, sans serif options.

Moved to the Dev corner.

If you got the fonts switched at the framework level, but not in books, you're probably checking with KF8 books. The changes needed to affect KF8 books aren't enabled by default (for various reasons, check the Fonts hack doc). You'll have to check out the doc, and enable that (hint: "Fonts" > "Font Hack Behavior" > "Tweak KF8 & Browser fonts" button in KUAL).

On a sidenote: you won't ever get more choices in the Aa menu on a K4. That (was) a K5 feature, before Amazon killed it (for various mostly sensible reasons).
