It used to be in prior versions.

Note that since 5.8.11 evidently has more menu choices, the file will probably have more entries.
The ones in the current example had an entry for each menu choice.

You do not need to have the Kindle jail broken to use a FONT_RAMP file.
The person(s) that provide examples do have to have a jb Kindle to determine the file format a firmware version expects.
(Well, not exactly, it could be done by opening the Amazon 5.8.11 update package with KindleTool and examining the code.)

Since 5.8.11 is available for all six (soon seven) i.MX6 based Kindles, it should not be long before someone posts matching examples.
Just stay tuned to a Kindle developer's sub-forum nearby.
