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. |
