Hacks PW2: change font size of User Interface?

manawydan · 05-30-2014, 04:29 AM

Device: PW2 (5.4).

Is it possible to change the font size of the UI, e.g. for the book list, highlights, dictionairy results, menues, maybe even the page preview if you jump to the next chapter or the search?

I had a look at some hacks but they seem to deal only with font families.

There are so many hacks now that I have no idea where to start searching.

I have installed Jailbreak if this is of any use.

Pls. note:
This is not about how to increase/decrease the font size while reading a book/document etc.

It is about the interface font size.

@manawydan: Possibly, by tweaking the fonts themselves, like we did with the K2/3/4, or by coercing fontconfig, but that might take a few tries, and it's definitely *NOT* for the faint of heart, because of the inherent risk of altering/breaking the framework itself, and not just the reader.

TL;DR: The first thing to try might be the Fonts Hack + the oversized font packs of the K3 Fonts Hack. But here be dragons.
