@NiLuJe: thank you for such useful package! It's the only way to read with my favourite font (PT Serif) also properly hinted (with BCI override).

Currently I'm still on 5.4.3.2 (@PW2) but plan to upgrade to 5.6.1 (because it's first official Russian firmware). Are you plan to support 5.6+? I've looked into update_*.bin (mount rootfs.img) and have found a version of libfreetype.so was upgraded from libfreetype.so.6.3.20 :

Code:

igold:~/tmp/kindle/fw/5.6.1/rootfs% LANG=C ll usr/lib/libfreetype.so*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     21 Nov  2 14:58 usr/lib/libfreetype.so -> libfreetype.so.6.11.2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     21 Nov  2 14:58 usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 -> libfreetype.so.6.11.2
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 806968 Nov  2 14:55 usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6.11.2

So current release of this package will not correctly override FreeType.
