Font hacks for the Kindle 2, Kindle International and Kindle DX (Compiled List)
I noticed that the Kindle fonts hacks have been, more or less, distributed all over the place. There are many hacks (for all three devices) contained within the Kindle International hack page, others in the general hack page, etc.
So, I thought it would be good to created a thread specifically dedicated to custom font hacks, that work on all three devices. Here are some, please feel free to post your own, and your feedback. As always, screenshots are appreciated. All links below are for all three devices, running 2.3, signed so no pre-jailbreak is needed: Georgia - https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...9&postcount=41 Georgia 2 - https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...7&postcount=61 Helvetica - https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...5&postcount=73 Droid Sans (full formatting) - https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...1&postcount=57 Droid (only sans serif regular, but Cyrillic, Chinese, Japanese and a bunch of other languages are supported) - http://blogkindle.com/2009/11/unicod...for-kindle-2-3 GNU FreeFont (All font styles are preserved, but these fonts only support Latin and Cyrillic characters) - http://blogkindle.com/2009/11/unicod...for-kindle-2-3 Droid (full formatting, but only Latin characters) - http://blogkindle.com/2009/11/unicod...for-kindle-2-3 Uninstaller files - http://www.avenard.org/kindle2/ufh-kindle2.3.tar.gz Enjoy!

You might want to rename the Helvetica2 here, to alleviate confusion. Thanks much. Last edited by elmoglick; 11-29-2009 at 10:33 PM. |

Hey folks,
Just wanted to drop a note that I am in the process of converting my entire font set (from kDesignWorks) over to the three platforms so that they'll work on v2.3 firmware. If all goes well, I should have all of them converted and posted in the next couple days. Cheers, Ted-san |

Ok, I've converted all the fonts and made packages for all three Kindle versions. You can find them all here
https://sites.google.com/a/etccreati...kindlev23fonts I've tested the straight, K2 versions. But I don't have a K2i or DX, so I have no idea if those versions work. |

Impressive effort (as usual). Can't wait to test out the DX fonts when I get home this evening. |
