The font options included with the Kindle are certainly serviceable, but why limit yourself? Today we’ll show you how to easily swap out the font files on your Kindle for a completely customized reading experience.

Kindle隨附的字體選項(xiàng)當(dāng)然可以使用，但是為什么要限制自己呢？ 今天，我們將向您展示如何輕松替換Kindle上的字體文件，以實(shí)現(xiàn)完全自定義的閱讀體驗(yàn)。

Why customize the font? Why not! It’s your ebook reader and if you want the font to be crisper, thicker, look like it belongs on Star Trek, or pack more words per line, there’s no need to let Amazon’s design decisions stand in your way. Today we’re going to show you how you can install new fonts on your Amazon Kindle with free tools and about 20 minutes of tinkering (most of which will be spent waiting for the Kindle to reboot and rebuild the fonts).

為什么要自定義字體？ 為什么不！ 它是您的電子書閱讀器，如果您希望字體更清晰，更粗，看起來像屬于《星際迷航》一樣，或者每行包含更多單詞，則無需讓Amazon的設(shè)計(jì)決策受阻。 今天，我們將向您展示如何使用免費(fèi)工具在Amazon Kindle上安裝新字體，并進(jìn)行大約20分鐘的修補(bǔ)(其中大部分時(shí)間將用于等待Kindle重新啟動并重建字體)。

你需要什么 (What You’ll Need)

()

For this hack you’ll need the following things

對于此hack，您需要以下內(nèi)容

• A Jailbroken Kindle (not jailbroken yet? No problem, see our notes below)
  越獄的Kindle(還沒有越獄？沒問題，請參閱下面的注釋)
• A free copy of the NiLuJe’s Fonts Hack
  NiLuJe的Fonts Hack的免費(fèi)副本
• A Kindle/Micro USB Sync Cable
  Kindle / Micro USB同步電纜

If your Kindle isn’t already jailbroken, don’t panic. It’s a free, simple, and easy hack to execute. If you’ve already hacked your Kindle for custom screensavers, you don’t need to worry about jailbreaking as you did so to enable the screensavers.

如果您的Kindle尚未越獄，請不要驚慌。 這是一個免費(fèi)，簡單且易于執(zhí)行的技巧。 如果您已經(jīng)用Kindle定制了屏幕保護(hù)程序，則無需擔(dān)心越獄即可啟用屏幕保護(hù)程序。

If you need to jailbreak, you can download the latest jailbreak here and then follow the jailbreaking steps in the Kindle screensaver guide to get up to speed.

如果您需要越獄，可以在這里下載最新的越獄，然后按照Kindle屏幕保護(hù)程序指南中的越獄步驟進(jìn)行操作。

應(yīng)用字體黑客 (Applying the Font Hack)

In order to apply the font hack you first need to download the appropriate pack for your device. Unlike the other Kindle hack packs that include all the BIN files for every Kindle, the files for the font hack are a little bit larger and the packages have been split.

為了應(yīng)用字體破解，您首先需要下載適合您設(shè)備的軟件包。 與其他Kindle hack軟件包(包括每個Kindle的所有BIN文件)不同，字體hack的文件要大一些，并且軟件包已拆分。

If you are using a K2 (Kindle 2), K2I (Kindle 2 International), DX (Kindle DX US), DXI (Kindle DX International)? or DXG (Kindle DX Graphite), you need to download the K2 Pack here.

如果您使用的是K2(Kindle 2)，K2I(Kindle 2 International)，DX(Kindle DX US)，DXI(Kindle DX International)或DXG(Kindle DX Graphite)，則需要在此處下載K2 Pack。

If you are using a K3G (Kindle 3 3G US) , K3W (Kindle 3 Wi-Fi)? or K3GB (Kindle 3 3G UK), you need to download the K3 Pack here.

如果您使用的是K3G(Kindle 3 3G US)，K3W(Kindle 3 Wi-Fi)或K3GB(Kindle 3 3G UK)，則需要在此處下載K3 Pack。

In our case, we’re using the Kindle 3? 3G (K3G) so we’re grabbing the K3 Pack. Download the appropriate pack for your device, download it, and extract it. Within the resulting folder you’ll see a BIN file that corresponds to your Kindle device. In our case it’s the update_fonts_5.0.N_k3g_install.bin

在我們的案例中，我們使用的是Kindle 3 3G(K3G)，因此我們搶購了K3 Pack。 下載適合您的設(shè)備的軟件包，下載并解壓縮。 在出現(xiàn)的文件夾中，您將看到一個與Kindle設(shè)備相對應(yīng)的BIN文件。 在我們的例子中是update_fonts_5.0.N_k3g_install.bin

Plug your Kindle into your computer via the sync cable. Once mounted, copy the appropriate BIN file over to the root directory of your Kindle. Safely eject your Kindle.

通過同步電纜將Kindle插入計(jì)算機(jī)。 掛載后，將適當(dāng)?shù)腂IN文件復(fù)制到Kindle的根目錄。 安全彈出您的Kindle。

Once you’ve copied the file and ejected the Kindle, it’s time to install the update. While it only takes a few minutes, we strongly suggest having a full battery or plugging your Kindle into a wall charger before proceeding (we’ve had mixed results using the computer as a charging source during updating, so we advise against it).

復(fù)制文件并彈出Kindle之后，就該安裝更新了。 雖然只需要幾分鐘，但我們強(qiáng)烈建議您在充滿電之前將Kindle充滿電或?qū)indle插入壁式充電器中(在更新過程中，使用計(jì)算機(jī)作為充電源會產(chǎn)生不同的結(jié)果，因此建議您不要這樣做)。

To install the update, navigate to the update menu by pressing Menu Button –> Settings-> Menu Button –> Update Your Kindle. The Kindle will confirm that you do indeed want to apply the update. Click OK.

要安裝更新，請按菜單按鈕->設(shè)置->菜單按鈕->更新您的Kindle ，導(dǎo)航到更新菜單。 Kindle將確認(rèn)您確實(shí)要應(yīng)用此更新。 單擊確定。

Your Kindle will go through the update process which can take anywhere from 30 seconds to 10 minutes. When your Kindle restarts, the hack will be applied. You can confirm the hack either by mounting your Kindle and looking for the \linkfonts\ directly in the root or by just turning the Kindle back on and checking to see if the main menu fonts are different (don’t feel bad if you end up checking for the directory anyway, the first time we applied the hack we found ourselves second guessing if the fonts were really different).

您的Kindle將經(jīng)歷更新過程，此過程可能需要30秒到10分鐘。 當(dāng)您的Kindle重新啟動時(shí)，將應(yīng)用該hack。 您可以通過安裝Kindle并直接在根目錄中查找\ linkfonts \或通過僅打開Kindle并檢查主菜單字體是否不同來確認(rèn)黑客入侵(如果最終結(jié)果不會很糟)無論如何檢查目錄，我們第一次使用該hack程序時(shí)，我們發(fā)現(xiàn)自己是在猜測字體是否真的不同)。

Note: If you end up not liking the results you get from the Font Hack and want to return the the Amazon defaults, just repeat the steps above using the *uninstall.bin file.

注意：如果最終不喜歡從Font Hack中獲得的結(jié)果，并且想要返回Amazon默認(rèn)值，則只需使用* uninstall.bin文件重復(fù)上述步驟。

更改黑字體 (Changing the Hacked Fonts)

By default, the font changes aren’t super dramatic. The fonts included in the font pack are intended to subtly improve the default Kindle fonts. If you’re looking to mix it up with something more distinct, you can do so by swapping out the fonts in the \linkfonts\fonts\ folder. Before you rush to do that, however, we have some guidelines and resources to share in order to make your font tinkering headache free.

默認(rèn)情況下，字體的變化不是很明顯。 字體包中包含的字體旨在巧妙地改善默認(rèn)Kindle字體。 如果您希望將其與其他功能區(qū)分開來，可以通過換掉\ linkfonts \ fonts \文件夾中的字體來實(shí)現(xiàn)。 但是，在您急著這樣做之前，我們有一些準(zhǔn)則和資源可以共享，以使您的字體免于煩惱。

First, there are some rules regarding which fonts you can swap out and how you have to name them. When you look in the \linkfonts\fonts\ folder you’ll see dozens of fonts. We strongly advise against messing with any fonts except for the following:

首先，有一些規(guī)則可以交換哪些字體以及如何命名它們。 當(dāng)您查看\ linkfonts \ fonts \文件夾時(shí)，會看到數(shù)十種字體。 強(qiáng)烈建議您不要亂用除以下以外的所有字體：

If you delete them or swap them out with incompatible files, you risk making your Kindle unusable until you do some manual editing/swapping/rebooting to undo your mistake.

如果刪除它們或?qū)⑺鼈兲鎿Q為不兼容的文件，則有可能使Kindle無法使用，直到您進(jìn)行一些手動編輯/交換/重新啟動來消除錯誤。

The easiest way to edit the book fonts is to grab pre-made packs compiled by MobileRead users. To that end, a really great resource is this Font Files and Samples site put together by Charles Reace. Charles has gathered up the most popular font packs, hosted them, and included samples of each font taken right from the Kindle so you can see exactly how they look before you go through the hassle of installing them. Just extract them, overwrite the files in the \fonts\ folder, and then restart your Kindle.

編輯書籍字體的最簡單方法是獲取由MobileRead用戶編譯的預(yù)制包。 為此，Charles Reace整理了這個Font Files and Samples網(wǎng)站，這是一個非常有用的資源。 Charles收集了最流行的字體包并將其托管，并提供了從Kindle直接獲取的每種字體的樣本，因此您在安裝它們之前就可以準(zhǔn)確地看到它們的外觀。 只需提取它們，覆蓋\ fonts \文件夾中的文件，然后重新啟動Kindle。

Barring using the premade packs, you follow the advice of the Font Hack creator NiLuje in regard to naming conventions and what each font does:

除非使用預(yù)制的包裝，否則您將遵循Font Hack創(chuàng)作者NiLuje的建議，以進(jìn)行命名約定以及每種字體的作用：

• Sans_Regular.ttf: Used in the Settings & Experimental page for the explanation texts. Also for the dictionnary/note popups.
  Sans_Regular.ttf：在“設(shè)置和實(shí)驗(yàn)”頁面中用于說明文本。 也用于字典/注釋彈出窗口。
• Sans_Bold.ttf: Used in the menus, in the top & bottom panel, and as the collection title when browsing a collection, and the inline text in the book & collection browsers (ie. the ‘delete this item’ stuff & co
  Sans_Bold.ttf：在菜單中，頂部和底部面板中使用，在瀏覽館藏時(shí)用作館藏標(biāo)題，并在書籍和館藏瀏覽器中用作內(nèi)聯(lián)文本(即“刪除此項(xiàng)目”的內(nèi)容
• Sans_Italic.ttf: May be used alongside Sans_Regular or Sans_Bold somewhere ^^
  Sans_Italic.ttf：可以與Sans_Regular或Sans_Bold一起使用^^
• Sans_BoldItalic.ttf: Used in the book list, for the collection names
  Sans_BoldItalic.ttf：在書籍列表中用于館藏名稱
• Serif_*.ttf: Used in the reader, that’s the font family your books will be rendered with.
  Serif _ *。ttf：在閱讀器中使用，即您的書籍將使用的字體系列。
• Serif_Bold.ttf: Used in the book & collection browser for the book title & author. (NOTE: For these purposes, Serif_Regular is used instead on FW 3.x)
  Serif_Bold.ttf：在書籍和收藏瀏覽器中用于書籍標(biāo)題和作者。 (注意：出于這些目的，在FW 3.x上使用Serif_Regular代替)
• Mono_*.ttf: AFAICT, nowhere except in the browser, but I may be mistaken. (Might be used in the reader when you’re feeding it a raw txt file or some raw html files, depending on styling).
  Mono _ *。ttf：AFAICT，除瀏覽器外無其他地方，但我可能會誤會。 (當(dāng)您將原始txt文件或一些原始html文件提供給閱讀器時(shí)，可能會在閱讀器中使用它，具體取決于樣式)。

When replacing files, we recommend renaming the files with the extension .old-tffso you can easily roll back your font changes in case something goes wrong.

替換文件時(shí)，建議您使用擴(kuò)展名.old-tff重命名文件，以便在出現(xiàn)問題時(shí)輕松回滾字體更改。

That’s all there is to it! You can take the ultra easy route with the premade packs or dig deeper and build your own custom font pack.

這里的所有都是它的！ 您可以采用預(yù)制包的超簡單路線，也可以更深入地挖掘并構(gòu)建自己的自定義字體包。
