Sorry for forgetting one thing. The recovery mode still working so basically I can access the root directory. But I do not know how to fix it. Also I do not know how to fix it by serial consle. If you have any hint, please kindly let me know. Thank you very much.

You must have used one of the customized hacks or you have customized it yourself. I’m sorry but I’ve written multiple times not to experiment with custom fonts unless you really know what are you doing. It looks like the only way to fix the device now is serial console

I have applied unicode hack with MsMincho font (japanese font) and did not happy with it. I deleted the files appeared in the root directory (except Audible, Documents, music) before uninstalling the font. Now my devices can not restart, I have tried the recovery mode and copy the uninstall bin file into it but it says the update is failed. I contacted the custommer services but I can not do anything because it is violation of user term. Do anyone have any advice? Thank you very much.

DejaVu is an excellent free-of-cost open-source font, with amazing support for many languages.

It has so many languages that they have found technical problems can occur. So now they offer an LGC subset (Latin, Greek, Cyrillic as I recall).

Download from sourceforge. Google ‘dejavu font’.

Hi,

This is wonderful! I would really like to see Kindle2 showing Sanskrit fonts. However, I really do not know how to create a patch like this for Sanskrit. Could you please help? I’ll locate the proper font type to make this work.

Could you please e-mail me back?

Thanks!
Gopal

I’ve tried http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/18291 and Hebrew glyphs don’t seem to render with Droid font. I’m positive that it’s just a matter of finding a font that will work.

BTW I recall seeing Unicode test eBook but can’t find it anymore. Can someone link to it? It would come really handy in testing these and subsequent patches.

Hello,
Is there a chance that you could test hebrew fonts on the kindle? I would be grateful to know the results and see the screenshots.
Thank you in advance
