1. Procure for yourself a copy of Georgia font. It's four TTF files. I got mine from /windows/fonts off my Windows 7 installation.
2. Procure for yourself a registered copy of HighLogic FontCreator (demo won't save)
3. Make the following adjustments to each of the four TTF files using Tools -> Glyph Transformer:
Regular fonts : Effects -> bold horizontal 25, vertical 20
Bold fonts : Outlines -> scale horizontal 100% vertical 110% +
Effects -> bold horizontal 15, vertical 10
4. Save and rename the fonts according to the Kindle Schema, eg. Serif_Regular.ttf, Serif_Italic.ttf etc. Copy across to your kindle fonts folder.
My kindle is looking great now. Hope this helps some of you missing Georgia2 on the Kindle 3 :-)

I love you!! This tip works GREAT! Best font I've tried so far and the only one I actually want to use. Thanks for your awesomeness.
