Can we extract the Kaiti font from kindle voyage, which is not in firmware

dracodoc · 02-08-2016, 09:58 PM

I knew there are tools to extract fonts from the firmware, but the Kaiti fonts in kindle voyage is not part of firmware. When you set the system language as Chinese and connect to wifi, start to read some Chinese books, kindle voyage will download fonts update pack some time later, which include the Kaiti font.

How can we get this font? I want to use it in koreader, but it is not shown in koreader's font selection list (the host option was suppose to list the kindle system fonts, but this one is not in list), so I want to extract it and copy it to koreader fonts directory.

@dracodoc: Open a ticket on github, we're simply not looking for fonts in the space where the CJK extra stuff gets downloaded.

OK. So you mean koreader can look for the additional fonts and load them? That will be the best solution.

I'm opening the ticket now.
