Hey guys,
I haven't used my kindle in quite a while and I'd like to put it to good use. I'm embarking on a project that's that's inspired by the Kindle Weather Station:

My goal: convert my Kindle 3 Wifi into a display that regularly downloads a text file from a server, parses it, and then displays it in a pleasant way. This'll be used as a To Do list viewer.
The only issue I have left to figure out is how to display using custom fonts and what not. If I use the SVG method outlined in the links above, I'll have issues with text wrapping because SVG doesn't handle that well. I've played around with the `eips` command but that outputs the text in a FUGLY way.
Is there any way to get text to display well, word wrapping and all, on the Kindle?
Thanks
