I wonder: Could anyone try my fonts on their Reader, if they render the test book in different families? The fonts are freeware and all are already modified to work with PRS-505 - you can see that in the menu. It works fine even if you use the "change fonts without flashing" hack (if you don't want to flash your reader permanently). Unfortunately, I don't seem to be able to get those fonts working inside books - they all render using the serif font :-(

Links:
Gentium font (serif - use file tt0011m_.ttf).
Droid fonts (sans serif and monospace - use file tt0003m_.ttf and tt0419m_.ttf).
Test book (2KB)
Permanently flashing fonts
Temporary font replacement (reverts to flashed fonts upon reboot).

Thanks for any help. I hope I will be able to figure out why I can't get proper font families, even with fonts which used to work for me before (I used the Windows' Times New Roman, Verdana and Courier; sadly, I can't post those because of copyright on them).
