honestly? it's a total PITA.

I dont fancy your chances unless you have the skills he lists. BUT as slanty says... it can be done.

So I installed your hack and I now have a fontfix_install.log in root which seems to say everything went fine and fontfix.pref in /system, but there haven't been any changes to the font sizes on my Kindle 4. I've tried restarting and making changes to the fontfix.pref file to no avail. Any ideas?

font sizing in update_fontfix_0.8.zip works on k3gb

It just installed it on my k3gb (for the font size hack) and the features I quote in the list above work quite good (I did not try the other parts).

I find the minimum font size of 10 somewhat limiting at first - fixed up the check in Java and managed to compile them, but will see in coming days whether it indeed is a pressing enough need for me to learn KindleTool to generate an update (or to look up WiFi networking again to ssh/scp the newly compiled classes over).

Thanks ihor, ixtab, NiLuJe, twobob, kaznelson and everyone else who contributed!

NiLuJe, I think it would it be worth including this in https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=88004

@Bandi-T: I'm quite open to linking to it/pointing inquiring users to it, but not 'folding' it into the thread, for a couple of reasons:

* It's, by design, fairly intrusive, and possibly tied to a specific fw build.
* It's not 'update safe'
* The thread is already gigantic enough .

To be clear, I have *nothing* against it, quite to the contrary, but it clashes a bit with the intended audience of the thread you mentioned, so it's mostly to avoid a support nightmare/people shooting themselves in the foot (same reason you don't see USBNet mentioned much in that thread).

Fair enough.

Linking would be nice though, because I spent half a day going down the same path that was done here (of getting the libs, decompiling them, digging through them for the list, modifying, stopping short of getting an old version of the JDK to recompile for 1.4).

While the font size setting works very nicely, the formatting of the headings is not diplayed correctly anymore (large headings are much smaller than they should be, at least on my k3gb, FW3.4).

Edit: By default (if no style is specified in the style sheet) the kindle renders heading sizes in steps that correspond to the steps on the Aa key. For old mobi format: <h5> is normal text size, <h4>, <h3> etc. increase one step each, same as <big></big> tag.
I would, however, expect that if font-sizes are specified in the style-sheet relative to the normal font (like h1 { font-size: 2.0em;}) this should not be affected by the font hack. But even in this case the font size actually displayed seems to be related to the steps assigned to the Aa key for old-style mobis (mobi7) only: Although the html in the mobi file contains h1 { font-size: 2.0em; }, the displayed fontsize is much smaller. I guess this is just the strange way the kindle renders mobis, not a problem of the font-hack.
No problems with KF8, works as expected.

The KindleTool part is easy once you created the framework-api-en_US.jar, framework-impl-en_US.jar and MobiReader-en_US.jar files. In the update_fontfix_0.8zip, go to the src directory where you'll find a batch file called build-updates.cmd (along with the install.sh and uninstall.sh files). You can just copy/paste the kindletool lines for your model (k3gb) from the batch file into the cmd window.

What I'd like to know is that with the latest jailbreak and whatever the latest firmware it works with, does this font hack to get more font sizes still work?

@JSWolf: More, no. Different, yes (cf. the link to kaznelson's PW1/PW2 fonts/margins hack link in the 'Where To Start' sticky).

Hi there. I can't access this link as it requires to complete a cyrillic captcha... that's impossible to be solved by me. Does anyone have a mirror for this file that doesn't require a cyrillic captcha?
