Hi,

Thanks for the replies. I think maybe I haven't been clear about what I wanted and what I have tried, so I'll try again.

Essentially I'm wanting to apply the font hack so that I have the ability to change fonts, but to not actually make any changes to the default system fonts in and of itself (I can then make my own changes to individual fonts). When I install the hack, there are already widespread font changes that I'd like to undo.

I dont' have the hack installed right now so I can't check the exact folder names, but from what I can see the hack creates a "fonts" folder where the fonts that are currently being used are placed. There is also a "backup" folder which I initially thought would be a backup of the original system fonts, so I was hoping I could just copy these over the equivalent fonts in the "fonts" folder, but it seems these are actually identical. So it seems the "backup" folder is actually a backup of the hack fonts, rather than the original system fonts, presumably for if you mess them up making changes.

So yes I'm essentially looking for the original system fonts, which may have been what mergen linked to and was removed is there no way of getting those from my own Kindle?

Did you restart your kindle after clearing the cache? I'm not sure if that's required but I'm pretty sure that's what I did. And of course you'll also have to go into at least one book before you put it to sleep to pick up a new cover.
