UPDATED for 2.3 ~ K2 Font Hack Instructions As Easy As I can Get Them.....

[Cobbie]

Thanks to your font hack instructions I was able to install the hack but I'm not sure I have uninstalled it. My Kindle said the install was successful but the font looks the same, Helvetica.

I downloaded "update_k2_fonts_uninstall.bin" then dragged it to the Kindle root directory and followed the instructions -- Safely removed my Kindle from my USB - Home-Menu-Settings-Menu-Update-Pressed 5-way for OK and waited for it to go through the motions. 

I now have 4 folders - Audible, Documents, Music, System
Files - font.properties.new
         font.properties.original
         font.properties.prerestored
         font. properties.restored
         netfront.ini.new
         netfront.ini.original
         netfront.ini.prestored
         netfront.ini.restored

Thank you for any ideas.

If you go to the Home screen and then select Menu -> Settings, at the bottom of the screen you should see the version number. If it just says something like "version 2.3.3 (12341234)" with nothing else following it, then you have no hacks installed. If there is a hack installed, then after the closing parenthesis there will be more stuff consisting of a few cryptic letters and then a version number. (I don't have anything installed at the moment to be able to check the exact nomenclature.)

Leave the folders alone, but you can delete all of those leftover files (font.properties and netfront.ini). It won't hurt anything. =)

When you did the uninstall did you use the correct k2 (or k2i) uninstall file? They aren't interchangeable.

She wouldn't have been able to select the "Update my Kindle" option if she had the wrong file. The update was successful, the files that were left behind are normal and can be removed, but don't hurt anything if you leave them there.

right, sorry, haven't finished my 1st cup of coffee

I have Version: Kindle 2.3 (399380047). Maybe I missed a previous update? Anyway, it looks like I was successful. I just don't remember the font looking this nice before the hack.

Thank you, NogDog, Jason, and LauraB. I really appreciate it.
