But now I found this tip about how to install custom fonts, hurrah!
No hacking necessary, and it is not too complicated, went smoothly for me.
For the USE_ALT_FONTS file, I just made a text editor document with a single space character in it, and named it thus.
I found fonts in the library/fonts folder both in my own user folder on my Mac, and in the root library folder. (I don't know what determines where they are installed.) It seemed that any format worked.
So apart from my favorite screen fonts like Georgia and Verdana, I of course couldn't resist installing some crazy fonts, just to show you and myself that it really worked! Here we go:
Font: Insolente

| Isn't this great? It's one I found recently, the best handwriting font I've seen. |

Font: Moderna
Font: Codex
Thyme Sans
Sister Frisky
Ain't technology great!?

Where did you put this file? Because it isn't working for me.
Just right at the top in the Kindle. (At "root".)
But: it only works on the Paperwhite, I think, not the regular Kindle.
Thanks very much. Your screenshots are awesome!!
Well, from the technical perspective, I would recommend this similar post.
