The default sizes are hardcoded inside Java bytecode inside some .jar files on Kindle's system partition. So someone wih SSH access and Java know-how would have to go hunt for that file (the file should be already known from the pre-FONT_RAMP era of redefining font sizes; I use to do that for my PW1 ) and then find those 14 values embedded somewhere in all that code just so you could take a look. By default there is no FONT_RAMP file on your Kindle...
As I don't really see the point of knowing default values when you can simply write 14 random 2 decimal number between say 7.00 and 13, in steps of say .40 increments and test that on your Kindle, when you find close to ideal size (and have idea how much bigger is that 0.40 "step") you go ahead and adjust a number. Since you'll ever need 1-3 "good sizes" at most it doesn't really matter what numbers are chosen for the rest. You already have a starting point, the example FONT_RAMP. So now just edit & test until satisfied. EDIT: This should be it: Code:
objArr2 = new Object[2]; objArr2[0] = "font.size.mapping"; objArr2[1] = new float[]{6.96f, 7.92f, 8.4f, 9.36f, 10.56f, 11.52f, 12.48f, 13.92f, 15.36f, 17.04f, 19.2f, 22.08f, 25.2f, 29.28f}; ... ![]() Quote:

For the very first time since February, when I bought my kindle pw, I didn't expect wireless update but I downloaded it. This is the more useful update I have seen. More sizes of font and choice of level of bold.

Not according to the Oasis 2 press release from Amazon - "Starting today, the new size and bold settings as well as ragged right alignment will be delivered as a free, over-the-air update to Kindle Paperwhite (Gen 6 released in 2013), plus all newer Kindle devices."

The fact remains that ragged right alignment was delivered previously. There may be some people who never installed the update that delivered that feature and for them 5.8.11 will deliver the feature. And there are as far as I can tell no changes to it: it requires ‘advanced typography’ support.

I still have some problem with this update. I think that next week they'll realise 5.8.11.1

I've just finished installing it on my Voyage. The bold option is pretty good, I think I'll go with level 1 bold, it improves readability for me.
However, I wish Amazon would let us choose between justified/ragged right in non-kfx books. It shouldn't be too hard to implement, and and I seem to remember my very first Paperwhite supported this feature. |

The K3 did but not, as I recall, the PW. You pressed (if I recall correctly) "Alt+J" to toggle the justification.
