Finer font size control
Hi, i'm the owner of a Kindle 3 WiFi.

An happy owner, i must say.
Only minor complain i have is the fact that i'd like the font size of my books to be halfway between the 5th and the 6th choice of size in the aA menu.

Is there a way to get a finer control over the font size?

You can load your own font. Use a font editor to increase/decrease the size of the font such that when loaded on the kindle it comes out to the size you want. This takes a bit of trial and error.

To load a font, use the font hack or, if you don't want to jailbreak, search the forum for changing font without hack.

Is that really the only way to do it? Seems a bit of a kludge when they are vector fonts.
