Hi,

I read arabic books. The arabic font is really bad if it straight use original font from Kindle. So, I use USE_ALT_FONTS and put the fonts in fonts folder. The fonts should be in complete of Italic, Regular and Bold. After that, discoonedt Kindle and wait about 1 minute (or restart the kindle), then open the book, the arabic font is replaced automatically with the new font. I can only activate 1 font one time - so it's kind like substite rather than add new font. Also, this font doesnt appear in "A" menu (same thing also if I didn't use USE_ALT_FONTS, the arabic font also didn't appear there as well).

Sorry for my bad english.

Thanks.

I currently embed the font I want to use in my individual books and then choose the "publisher font" option. I'd love to be able to add the fonts to my reader rather than embedding them in each book.

Thanks!
