I have another fonts question. As I mentioned earlier, when I changed fonts from the default Helvetica, I was unable to go back to it. It was no longer listed in the drop-down font select menu. When I look in DKSystem/system/fonts, it is empty. Is Duokan using linkfonts/fonts from Kindle? Maybe the Helvetica font does not appear in the drop down menu because it is limited to 0 - 9, and there are more fonts than that in my fonts folder. If I copy a new font into DKSystem/system/fonts, it would not appear on the drop-down font select folder, would it?
Edit: I just looked again in DKSystem/system/font, and there is a DAT file named FontFileLIst.dat, which, when I open it, has HelveticaNeue LT 65 medium (the font that I like), followed by NULNULNULNUL, and so forth. If I delete the NULs would I get the font back? Last edited by montalex; 11-07-2010 at 12:08 PM. |

@montalex: It might not exactly play nice with my Fonts hack. No idea .
Try disabling the fonts hack, maybe? (remove/rename the linkfonts/auto file, and restart). |

I love the fonts hack! I'm not anxious to mess it up. But you say that I can just temporarily rename the auto file, and I could change it back afterwards?

O.K. why is the applied [ Update_DK_k2i.bin ] file in my linkfonts folder? Don't these bin updates usually disappear once applied?

@montalex: Yep, it'll just be disabled, until you restore the file.
@montalex: That's because of the 'update trap' feature of the hacks (and the fact the the DK files aren't whitelisted). You can delete it. [I'll fix that in the next update]. Last edited by NiLuJe; 11-07-2010 at 12:34 PM. |

That worked, NiLuJe. Now my drop-down font select menu gives me a different list of fonts -- the ones that are in the linkfonts/fonts folder in Kindle. But now, if I go back to Kindle, I won't have my nice font, will I? Thanks. Edit. Actually, I am back in Kindle, and nothing changed. I still have the default fonts hack font -- I don't even know what it is, actually -- a simple wide serif font -- very paper book like. Thanks again.

Last question before I install this, how do I exit/restart the Duokan Firmware to switch to Kindle 3's original firmware?

Or, there's a better way. Under menu/settings in Duokan, there is a boot to Kindle choice (I'm not in Duokan at this moment, so I don't remember the exact wording, but it is obvious). Even in Chinese, like with the boot screen, you'll see KINDLE in English. |

Well, how do you restart within Duokan, that's my main question?

So "home/menu/settings/menu/restart " is available within Duokan like the regular Kindle 3's firmware - meaning you restart the Duokan firmware the same way you restart the Kindle 3 firmware?

Otherwise, you have to hold the on/off slide switch for about 20 seconds to do hard reboot. Then watch for the Duokan boot screen, though I think that, unless you have changed settings in Duokan, it will default to Kindle. |
