Hi, I've been forum crawling for the whole day, and haven't been able to find an answer, I apologize if my question is too rudimentary.

I successfully installed everything including the font hack, however, I noticed that I like the default 'sans serif' the best, as it makes the font look somewhat bolded. However, I can't figure out which ttf file in the font folder matches with typeface in Kindle. Specifically, which ttf corresponds to 'regular', 'condensed', and 'sans serif' respectively? I'd like to replace all but the sans serif. Can anyone teach me which files I can copy back from the backup folder in order to keep the default 'sans serif'?

Secondly, I tried to install the 'droid sans' font via both copy and pasting into the font folder and using the packaged update file, both methods resulted in my Kindle 3 not being able to display anything other than menus. Everything appears black. Is this a known problem? I've been able to install all the other fonts correctly with either method.

Lastly, does anyone have a good Chinese font I can use? The one that comes bundled with Kindle is terrible, it is washed out AND it doesn't contain a lot of characters.

I'd really appreciate any help I can get. Thanks a lot!
