First off, thanks so much for the hacks. I love adding my own screens to the Kindle 3. I've also done the Font hack, and have the droid ones that come with the instructions on the first page.

My problem is I'm trying to get the Georgia font to work with the Kindle 3. I've tried taking the .ttf pages from here:

and replaced the files in the /linkfonts/fonts directory. Unfortunately when I do, I can no longer open any of the books on my Kindle. Has anyone successfully gotten Georgia to work on the Kindle 3, and if so, is there a way to do this without installing a python dev environment on my Windows machine?

Thanks in advance.
