Two font questions

holgalee · 06-17-2012, 07:40 AM

Hi all, I've installed the font hack and am using a modified Georgia font. I wonder if it's possible to have an in-between font size? For example, size 3 is too tiny for me, while size 4 is a little too big, so is there anyway we can tinker with the "script" to create an in-between font size, or sizes that are only marginally bigger or smaller?

My second font question is: the Georgia font is now my regular (reading) font, while the condensed font is the default Kindle font. Is there anyway I can replace this condensed font or the sans serif font with other fonts? I tried searching the font thread but didn't find the answer.

If you don't intend to use the [Aa] menu all that much, then I suggest editing the reader.pref file in the system folder (or use the Calibre plugin), I *think* that still works to set the font size.

The only other choice is to rescale the font with a font editor, which may not be as easy as it sounds.

Sans Serif *is* the regular font

. The hack lets you switch three font families out of the four (basically, everything except condensed).
