Custom fonts on PW1 update 5.6.1.1
Hi All. Sorry if this been answered already.
I had silent update of my PW1, it's now 5.6.1.1 and I lost my custom fonts I'm very disappointed with that, because this was the only way to read Old Church Slavonic on Kindle. What is the easiest way to get custom fonts back? Do I get it right, jailbreaking of this version requires opening device and soldering wires? Thank you in advance! |

I've updated the JB hotfix, which *should* restore the JB on 5.6.1.1 (for previously jailbroken devices). One potential caveat is that this might depend on the presence of a not-completely-ancient JB *before* the update. Can't remember the history right now, I just remember that this was never an issue for the PW2, but it might be for a PW1 if it was originally jailbroken ages ago.
Reinstalling everything *from the snapshots* should do the trick, provided the JB can be saved. (Completely untested, no time). Last edited by NiLuJe; 07-17-2015 at 09:52 AM. |

You should:
You will then find a "Publisher font" option in your font setting dialog. Last edited by pirl8; 07-17-2015 at 12:33 PM. |

But I don't think anyone has written up the specifics. (It is very similar to "De-Bricking" the main partition, once you take apart the Amazon update package with KindleTool.) |

Thanks a lot guys for a good advice!
My Kindle never was jailbroken, I didn't need that. I just used a hack with empty file USE_ALTERNATIVE_FONTS and it's no longer working. Am I completely stuffed now? Unfortunately creating azw/mobi files with my fonts does not work either, as they are not displayed correctly. epubs works fine on apple/android but azw/mobi is a failure. I've asked that question at this forum ages ago. |

It includes directions, which tell you how to use it (I.E: How to make it work).
If you meant how does it implement its intended actions, then let the source be with you: http://cloud.ak-team.com/ Last edited by knc1; 07-19-2015 at 05:22 PM. |

The issue I think is that .azw (MOBI) doesn't support embedded fonts.
But AZW3 (KF8) does -- that is one of the reasons it was created. |
