Kindle PW3 - Fonts as .zip file
Hello,

I need help, I want to graphically modify the original fonts. Unfortunately I can not find them anywhere.

Someone is linking me to a .zip file with latest fonts Kindle PW3

1) Your in the wrong forum, use the developer's sub-forum of this one.
That is the place for technical details of the Kindle system internals.

2) What makes you think it is a "zip" file?
Other types of files use that type of compression.

3) How much "non-Windows" experience with OS system internals do you have?
That is, at what technical level do you need the answer described?

You can extract the Kindle fonts from a Kindle firmware. So you can then do whatever you want with them. But putting them back in the firmware to then be installed I don't think will work.

The main 'trick' to all of this is to get into the correct forum.

Once you have done that, then you should be able to find the tools and a fairly recent step-by-step to do what you ask about.

But as JSWolf says above - it isn't quite as simple as you have been told, and not bricking your Kindle while you are trying out your changes is another challenge.
