Hi,

Sorry for not replying...

I used step by step here:

http://blog.the-ebook-reader.com/201...hite-no-hacks/

If you have only 1 font (regular one, but not italic, bold, underline), then you can just copy that font and rename it to italic, bold and underline.

FYI, I just received Oasis and updated to the latest 5.8.7 and still able to use this method.

Thanks.

What was your replacement font, how did you name the font files and where did you put them?

I used arabic fonts. There are few, and all of them are worked quite good. It only have 1 regular font, so I have <name>-Bold.otf, <name>-BoldItalic.otf, <name>-Italic.otf, <Name>-Regular.otf. All of them basically one same file. And I can only use 1 font at a time.

Can you please give me the names of these fonts and the exact file names that you used?

I took at look at the 5.8.7 kindle firmware to see if I could find out what CONTENT_FONT_RAMP is used for. I found that is the equivalent to FONT_RAMP, but for KFX format. Unfortunately, a debug flag that is set to "false" prevents it from actually functioning in the released firmware.

At first I thought it was a problem with the ebook (epub converted to azw3 using KindleGen), but then it happened with two more ebooks. Looking at the html in each book reveals nothing unusual.

Restarting my Oasis will temporarily fix it, but then it will start happening again with greater and greater frequency until I restart again.

I have just reset my Oasis and will see if that helps, but wondering if anyone else is experiencing this. This has never happened to me before on my Oasis or Voyage. Just started with this latest update.

Thanks for any insights.
Is there a resolution for this? I'm having the same problem. Running 5.8.7.0.1

I'm on 5.8.8 and still having this problem. I've tried restarting. I've tried a factory reset. No joy :-(

Thanks for your response. I updated to 5.8.8 last night; problem still exists. This is pretty outrageous, to be honest.

Do you know what the last-good firmware version is, and if we can downgrade to it?

No and No.
Not from 5.8.8, from any firmware earlier than that it can be downgraded in a round-about way.

Can either of you give an example of a book that this is happening with? I can't make it happen with any of the books I have on any of my Kindles.

It's happening regardless of books. I made a thread here with some examples. Once I realized it was a firmware problem, I checked other books.

Sounds like I should not have assumed that Amazon would fix this in an update.... :-|

There's no way to root the device without downgrading, then? Can't SSH in, wipe firmware, start over?

I didn't have this problem until 5.8.5.0.2, so I'm guessing that whatever version came immediately prior to 5.8.5.0.2 would be okay. Unfortunately this is moot given knc1's info that you can't downgrade from 5.8.8 :(

That's interesting. By any chance, are all your books straight from Amazon (i.e., no sideloading, no Calibre, no Send-to-Kindle, no anything extra, simply downloaded directly from Amazon to your Kindle?)

I edit my books to adjust formatting before using Send-to-Kindle, and I'm wondering if this has something to do with it.

It happens with every book I've read for months, but with some books it happens more frequently than others.
