How to add fonts without linkfont?

gothlugh · 08-11-2015, 10:51 AM

I'm planning add fonts (eg. Minion Pro) to Voyage (FW 5.6.5), but dont want to using linkfonts.

My reader got JB and USBNet. My /usr/java/lib/fonts.cramfs.img is modified.

What else I must modify for new font in Aa menu?

The routines for modifying fonts are very delicate, and a number of things can go wrong. The fonts hack tries very hard to ensure safety.

Why do you not want to just use the fonts hack?

Font hack req. mkk, python, KUAL etc. - too many elements for me. I like KISS.

Is possible in font hack add fonts (not replace)?

You will not think that your method is all that KISS once you brick your Kindle.

The font files and font handling on Kindles is **extremely** fragile.
You have been warned.

If you really, really want, you can delete the KUAL document after you install the fonts hack. Then manipulate the hack directly via the text files.

MKK comes bundled with the jailbreak, so it is installed anyway.

And if the plan is *adding* stuff to the Aa menu, well, you can't ;p.

I believe, but still check.
