I've got a problem with my Kindle 2 US.

I uninstalled the previous font hack, updated to 2.3. Everything fine. Installed the Droid font hack referenced below. Everything looked good.

Like a fool I said "Let's see what the Liberation font looks like". So I installed the liberation font. Note that I did not uninstall first. The font looked terrible. Very small and faint. Worse than the original font. So I uninstalled. Everything looked like normal default Kindle.
Then I reinstalled the Droid. The Droid san-serif font is there but it's very faint and looks alot like the standard font without serifs. Several restarts, uninstalls, reinstalls later, I'm in the same place. After an uninstall, everything looks like standard Kindle (I have a second kindle so it's easy to compare).

So here I am, stuck with the standard font. I'd love to be able to re-install the 2.3 update but the kindle just ignores it when I copy it to the root folder.

Any ideas on a fix? Is there a way to force the 2.3 update to reinstall? A way to fix what's there now?

Help!!!

Thanks,

Not tested ...
Can't think what could be wrong though ...
