I like the Constantia font.
Did you mean to write 5.8.11?

You will have to use the font add-in package.
Which requires you to jail break your Kindle.

The KT3 running 5.8.11 can be jail broken.
You most likely can also jail break a KT3 running 5.8.1.1 (which was the first update released for the KT3), I just think no had reported on it back then.
