I activated fonts with USE_ALT_FONTS + fonts folder I tried putting alternate.conf (unix type line-ends) with the following content. Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd"> <fontconfig> <dir>/mnt/us/altfonts</dir> <rejectfont> <pattern> <patelt name="family"> <string>Song S</string> </patelt> </pattern> <pattern> <patelt name="family"> <string>Song T</string> </patelt> </pattern> <pattern> <patelt name="family"> <string>MKai PRC</string> </patelt> </pattern> <pattern> <patelt name="family"> <string>Futura</string> </patelt> </pattern> </rejectfont> </fontconfig> EDIT: PS: I've done the usual device restarts after each modification mentioned above Tested with 5.3.4 and 5.3.5. As I don't have root access, I don't know if the XML error discovered by DuckieTigger is solved, but it seems not. Last edited by fred_be9300; 04-27-2013 at 11:44 AM. |

Which will most likely require a device re-boot. Give that a try first. If you where willing to install the KUAL launcher, then someone here could write you a simple button to "scrub" the broken xml file. (KUAL does not require USBnetworking, but does require that you JailBreak (or 'root') your device.) |

thanks for the suggestion - yes I did do device restarts. For the time being, I want to stay away from device hacking (jailbreak and more). It's a psychological thing (I did it on my android and phone, and have spent more time reading up on the hacking, then enjoying the device, so I want to not go there with the kindle )

Does my explanation of using the '*/' abbreviation make any sense?

Need your help

My device is KPW 5.3.5 I am a reader from China, need to use the 'Song T' and the other Chinese fonts. If I modify your code to retain Chinese fonts and refuse English, whether the change will affect the display of English books and system interface English? PS: 5.3.5 is applicable? |

Come on people... could folks who ask "does this or that work on a new firmware" actually try it before asking, and report back so that we can all benefit from it? Or am I asking for too much?

I think someone posted an alternate/similar solution to this just today IIRC
Required root access mind you. |

Can confirm this does not work with 3.5.3. Got to wait this out...or wait the dog out

But this method works with 5.3.5! Works like a charm - not hacks
