Kindle 3 (or K4NT) font on the Touch
I haven't rooted my Kindle Touch, but I have done the font hack that allows me to load extra fonts. Currently I have Constantia and Georgia and, though they're darker, I'm not crazy about either. Has anyone made a font that looks just like the Kindle 3 (or Kindle 4 Non-Touch)? I know it's supposed to be the same Caecilia as on the Kindle 3, but it's definitely lighter.

And ...

I haven't rooted the Touch but I'm thinking of doing so if there is a work-around to allow me to use Google Translate instead of Bing. I want Latin and Bing only supplies a few languages. Is this a fairly easy hack? And does it work cleanly?

Thanks for any information and/or advice.

Looks good. But first, I guess, I'm going to have to learn to jailbreak the Touch. I'm always a bit nervous about that. And, before I do that, I just wanted to ask ... does AcXE work with firmware version 5.3.7.2 on the Kindle Touch? Thanks.

Use the Jailbreak from NiLuJe's "snapshots" thread.

What is wrong with the regular one on the upstream thread?

I thought the snapshot just covers additional model numbers, and bundles MKK.

Nothing is **wrong**, just not my recommendation (per above - bundled to survive across updates, just like the JB bridge).

That is why I like appending "...because it bundles MKK so it's cooler", it saves confusion.
