Hacks Custom fonts as System fonts?

font332 · 07-19-2019, 12:22 AM

Hello

Since Amazon enabled us to use custom fonts I am able to use some uncommon language fonts, however it works only in books, not in titles or the dictionary window pop-up.
Is it maybe somehow possible to somehow update the system fonts by those fonts?

Thanks

Only with jailbreak. Once you have it you can try NiLuJe's Fonts hack from the snapshots.

As Amazon's own custom fonts handling is a proof of, this has the potential to be crashy, which is slightly more problematic when it affects the system UI instead of only the reader

.

I think I remember trying to avoid the most blatant forms of foot-shooting, but, basically, you're on your own, here be dragons
