3. get my fontmapper-070218.zip, unzip it onto the root directory of a SD card formatted as FAT16.

4. insert SD card into 505, wait until it display the message, press 1 to activate.

5. wait 10 seconds or so and then the screen flashes a few times, until it displays the "already activated" message, hit MENU to exit. DONE!

NOTE:

1. Though this method is based on igorsk's flashing package, it doesn't actually do the flashing. Instead it mounts /Data/FONT over existing /opt/sony/ebook/FONT. So the effect will be lost if you reset (cold reboot) the reader. Then you only need to insert the SD card to activate it again to get back the font support. This method is based on the discussion thread led by obelix on the-ebooks.org Russian forum.

All credits go to igorsk, obelix and those who contributed their works towards hacking the sony reader!

(For Chinese Unicode font support, see this thread over hi-pda forum for details)
Thanks. Where can you find the download for these customized fonts ?
