Hi shamanNS, I used USE_ALT_FONTS in my PW3 and Voyage with firmware 5.6.5 without any problem. No jailbreak needed. The fonts are not listed in A menu, but the book can recognise them once installed.

Because the first one used to work on any Kindle Touch and Kindle Paperwhite 1st Gen (up until firmware 5.3.9), without the need for jailbreak. It never worked on any firmware for PW2, PW3, Voyage, Oasis... because that hidden functionality was removed starting with firmware 5.4.0.

The second one requires jailbroken Kindle and should work on any future firmware 5.x.x, you just have to reinstall it each time your Kindle's firmware gets updated.

Or maybe you meant to ask about "FONT_RAMP" flag that enables user to redefine those 8 default font sizes? That is usable on PW1, PW2, PW3...
