Is it possible? Yes
Will it be a good experience? No. Unless your PDFs are formatted for a 6" page size to match the size of the Kindle's screen. |

Once you've installed both, add the Tamil font(s) to the linkfonts/fonts directory and override the default Serif font. For details see NiLuJe's very detailed post. Note that overriding the default Sans Serif font can have major side effects and is not recommended. |

Your first step -
Properly identify the model of device you actually have (you used mixed names in your post). Compare the first four characters of your serial number with the entries in this table: https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kindle_Serial_Numbers Then re-read the title of the post you quoted - before you edited the title. See? Whatever you have, it isn't a K3. I do expect you will have to make more changes than just editing the post title to make it work. |

Not able to use custom font - Kindle Paperwhite 2 (PW2)
Followed everything and could install KUAL. But even though I tried the steps, I am not getting the new custom fonts in Fonts Overrride. Any help???

@cr.ashok18: Walk us through *exactly* what you did, you probably missed something.

1. Did Jailbreak.
- Extracted kindle-jailbreak-1.10.N.zip. Inside that, Unzipped the contents of the kindle-5.4-jailbreak.zip archive to the root directory of my Kindle. - Updated Kindle and it got restarted after displaying the words **** JAILBREAK **** 2. Installed Mobileread Kindlet Kit. - Download the attached kindle-mkk-20140214.zip file and unpacked it. - Copied the Update_mkk-20140214-k5-ALL_install into Kindle's root directory. - Updated Kindle and it got restarted. 3. Copied the KUAL-KDK-2.0.azw2 and placed in Documents folder. 4. Downloaded kindle-linkfonts-0.8.N.zip file and unpacked it. 5. Placed the Update_linkfonts_0.8.N_install_pw2.bin in the Kindle's root directory. 6. Now ejected the kindle and updated the device. It got restarted. 7. Copied the custom fonts (Serif_Bold.ttf, Serif_BoldItalic.ttf, Serif_Italic.ttf, Serif_Regular.ttf) to linkfonts/fonts folder. 8. Ran the Fonts -> Fonts Hack Behavior > Update fontconfig cache KUAL button. Now I tried to check Font Override but custom fonts are not coming in. I tried to Restart the framework, Restart the X server, Font Overrides > Populate this menu button but nothing helped. |

@cr.ashok18:
7. Following the old naming scheme isn't needed, FWIW. (It won't hurt either, but if you have a bunch of different fonts, it can get confusing). You're missing step 9. Which is clicking 'Populate this menu', at the top of the Font Override menu. |

@cr.ashok18: Did you wait for the fontconfig cache update to finish? Did you wait for the Font Override menu to refresh?

@cr.ashok18: Whoops, missed the fact that you didn't have Python installed . Glad you got it working.
