Hi,

I have no Kindle so I cannot check it out myself, but I know it works on Kobo-KoReader.

Still I looked it up on the internet.
As far as I understood the Kindle needs 4 font-variants of the same font, be placed in the folder.

The official info is:

Note: In order for the Kindle to recognize which style the font has, the fonts must comply with these conventions:
    Fontname-Regular.ttf (normal)
    Fontname-Italic.ttf (italic)
    Fontname-Bold.ttf (bold)
    Fontname-BoldItalic.ttf (bold and italic)

If the font is copied to the device and does not correspond to this naming scheme, the Kindle will not recognize it.

This means you first of all have to name the font like "Fastfont-Regular.ttf".
I also read somewhere that the kindle (dependend on the firmware version) needs exactly this 4 names.
Since we have Regular and Bold combined in the FastFont you have to copy the Font four times and name it differently - Regular, -Italic, -Bold and -BoldItalic like mentioned above.

Afterwards the Kindle should at least show you the font in the selection menu.
You have to try out if the speed-reading functionality works. That is dependend on, if the kindle supports the opentype features of the font, that are the intelligence to print certain letters bold for speed-reading.

It would be great if you could post a short comment, if it worked or not.
That could help other users trying the same ;-)

Uh oh!
