Once you have downloaded and installed Font Creator, you can open up font files (*.ttf) and edit them. If you want, you can directly edit the 4 serif*.ttf fonts that come with the hack (in the /src folder) to make them darker. Or you can replace those files with your favorite base unicode font. (Do not modify the Mono*.ttf or Sans*.ttf files.) To make a font bolder, select the characters that you want to modify (you can select and shift-click to select multiple characters - for example, from the exclamation mark to the tilde), then from the pull-down menu select Tools | Glyph Transformer ... and expand "+Effects" and select "Bold" and click OK. To make a font larger, select the characters that you want to modify, then from the pull-down menu select Tools | Glyph Transformer ... and expand "+Outlines" and select "Scale" and increase both the Horizontal & Vertical percentage to somewhere between 105 and 110% around "Center of bearings" and click OK. You will want to make the same changes to all 4 font files. Once you are ready to try it on your Kindle, you need to run the "build-updates.cmd" in the /src directory to output the new *.bin files. To be safe, you should try the *install_browser.bin first to ensure that the font works in the browser before applying it to the reader as well.
