Download the firmware for the Voyage v5.6.5 and rename to 565.bin after the download.
Download the Kindletool package from here: KindleTool: Create/Unpack Kindle update files.
Unpack the Kindletool package.
Place the Kindletool files and the 565.bin file in a directory of your choice --I left everything in the Downloads directory. Create a directory called temp in that folder.
Open Terminal and cd to the Downloads directory.
Enter the following command: ./kindletool extract 565.bin temp
Once Kindletool is finished, you can close the Terminal window.
Open the Downloads/Temp directory. Double click on the rootfs.img.gz file. Extract the fwo-rootfs.img file (I placed it in the Downloads directory).
Right click on the fwo-rootfs.img file and use Open With to select Disk Image Mounter.
Once the image is mounted, open usr/java/lib directory. You should see a file called fonts.cramfs.img (or you can search for the file). Once you have located the file, right click and Open With => Disk Image Mounter. You should now see the font files. Copy the 4 Bookerly files to a convenient location, compress them into a .tar.gz file and email them to yourself, etc.
I found the files were named properly for use with my Kobo so bold, italic, bold-italic and regular all worked but after a short while, I went back to Charis SIL. Baby duckling syndrome? Perhaps.
Good luck! |
Thanks so much for posting the instructions. I'll need to be in a brave mood to try it though. I'm on Windows.
