Hey Folks, I came across a post that gives instructions on how to change the Kindle's default font sizes -- link here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...2&postcount=19 -- when I tried it using my Mac's built in text editor, TextEdit, it did not work. Is there some other software that might make it work?

I did all of the steps in the post: I opened TextEdit, typed in 14 numbers with a space in between each number(7.5 8 8.5 9 9.5 ... etc), saved the file and named it "FONT_RAMP", and then copied over to the root of my Kindle drive. The software on my Kindle Voyage is up to date.
Mac and Linux may not use the same line endings.
What type of line ending did you have the editor use?
Did the editor help you by adding a filename extension?
What is the actual firmware version number? ("up to date" is very transitory, keep in mind you are writing for readers a decade later)
