Tested on firmware 3.2.1 and Kindle Keyboard. The fonts should work fine on any jailbroken Kindle, but I have only tested them on the Kindle 3 Wi-Fi.
I tried to get the Georgia2 fonts from a previous jailbreak to work but I had all sorts of problems with the Kindle locking up and not being able to enter the settings screen, so I decided to edit the font myself. In the process I edited several other fonts. The archive contains bolder, more legible versions of them:
- Bembo (Serif)
- Constantia (Serif)
- Droid Serif (Serif)
- Georgia (Serif)
- Georgia2 (Serif)
- ITC New Baskerville (Serif)
- Linux Biolinum (Sans-serif)
- Linux Libertine (Serif)
- Miller (Serif)
- Minion Pro (Serif)
- Palatino (Serif)
- Times New Roman (Serif)

- The font hack: follow the steps found here to install it (there are a bunch of other useful hacks on that page worth checking out as well)
- Plug your Kindle into the USB port if it isn't already
- Expand the fonts.tar archive
- Copy all the
.ttffiles from the folder of the font you'd like (the files are named: Serif_Regular.ttf, Serif_Italic.ttf, Serif_Bold.ttf, Serif_BoldItalic.ttf) - Paste them into
K:\linkfonts\fonts\(whereK:\is your Kindle) - Eject your Kindle and go to MENU > Settings. Once in the settings menu click MENU > Restart Kindle
- Once your Kindle has rebooted it will have the new font
