So I delete the new font family only and do again a restart, but fonts were still gone. Than I try to start the coolreader without success and realized that the jailbreak were not working anymore? Now I checked the firmware version and see that amazon updated it from 5.3.0 to 5.3.1 without asking me. So I try the ";fc-cache" command, than I reboot, nothing. Again this ";fc-cache" command and wait 12 minutes (no automatic reboot happen?) and again I reboot, and again no personal fonts working.
Now I reinstall the jailbreak with all needed steps(a few reboots) and get my coolreader back to running, but the standard reader still not uses personal fonts. Finally I install the JBPatch together with font size hack and after another reboot, I saw all my fonts in "Aa" menu and was happy. I guess the are working now because of the JBPatch. That seems to fix something. For sure I did more than enough reboots. For each font at least one.  |
It is definately not the JBPatch. I just tried it out on a jailbroken 5.3.1 that other than the jailbreak itself only ever had (and has) jailbreak, kindlet jailbreak, developer certificates, and Collection Manager installed. JBPatch never touched that one, but after copying USE_ALT_FONTS file and a restart, it does show now the extended list of fonts (nothing in fonts/ folder itself though did not create that).
So still not clear to me what all is needed for it to work on 5.3.1.
