Hi NuLuJe,
Thanks a lot for the hucks. I need some help /advice.
After I installed font huck on my Kindle DXG 2.5.5, I was disappointed with the fonts, tried some other fonts, and eventually, unstalled the huck, in order to return to the original fonts.Till now everything went well, while after unistall I still have
linkfonts directory on my device.

After a while I decided to try DeJaVu fonts ( [I'm installing an alternative set of fonts for the Unicode support), and tried to install the huck again.

I got 003 error message and when pressed R 4, as the message adviced to do, the device rebooted and everything works well.

I still see the original fonts. Any attempt to remove "auto" file from the directory causes rebooting of the device every time I turn it on.
Seems the huck is in the active state. At the font directory I have the sets of Caecilia*, Helvetica*, Kindle* and your standart set if Mono*,Sans* and Serif*.

My questions -

1) What is my state now - with the huck or without?
2) how may I return [safely] to the font substituion?


Thanks,
BoKa
