Angry About the epub custom font path And how to know the path?

I register for this question and my japan version prs-350.

As you know, the japan prs 350 can't be flashed.
So I turn to use epub format to custom font by css.

Though, it's not over.
The problem is I can't find the custom font path in my 350.
I put fonts both in /FONT and /fonts,and add all the paths as follows:

@font-face {
font-family:"zw";
src:url(res:///opt/sony/ebook/FONT/zw.ttf),
url(res:///ebook/fonts/../../ebook/fonts/zw.ttf),
url(res:///ebook/fonts/zw.ttf),
url(res:///Data/FONT/zw.ttf),
url(res:///opt/sony/ebook/FONT/tt0011m_.ttf)
url(res:///fonts/ttf/zw.ttf),
url(res:///../../media/mmcblk0p1/fonts/zw.ttf),
url(res:///DK_System/system/font/zw.ttf),
url(res:///abook/fonts/zw.ttf),
url(res:///system/fonts/zw.ttf),
url(res:///system/media/sdcard/fonts/zw.ttf),
url(res:///sdcard/fonts/zw.ttf),
url(res:///system/fonts/DroidSansFallback.ttf),
url(res:///mnt/MOVIFAT/font/zw.ttf),
url(fonts/zw.ttf);
}

none of them works for me and my japan 350.
I have done a lot search, but no answer.
So, anybody can tell me,
1\What is the right font path used in css?
2\How can I find the right font path used in css?

Any help is welcome, thanks in advance!

This CSS works for me when I format a book in calibre:

Code:
@font-face {
 font-family: GeorgiaEInk15;
 font-weight: normal;
 font-style: normal;
 src: url(res:///Data/fonts/GeorgiaEInk15.ttf);
}
@font-face {
 font-family: GeorgiaEInk15;
 font-weight: bold;
 font-style: normal;
 src: url(res:///Data/fonts/GeorgiaEInk15Bold.ttf);
}
@font-face {
 font-family: GeorgiaEInk15;
 font-weight: normal;
 font-style: italic;
 src: url(res:///Data/fonts/GeorgiaEInk15Italic.ttf);
}
@font-face {
 font-family: GeorgiaEInk15;
 font-weight: bold;
 font-style: italic;
 src: url(res:///Data/fonts/GeorgiaEInk15BoldItalic.ttf);
}
body {
 font-family: GeorgiaEInk15;
 widows: 0;
 orphans: 0;
}
The font files are in the "fonts" folder in the root of the "READER" drive (not the "SETTINGS" drive).

I do not know if the drive name or the path is the same on the Japanese version of the 350.

Thank you,
I tried this path, no help to japan 350.

BTW, my firmware version is 3.0.03.03190.

In your list above, you show:

url(res:///Data/FONT/zw.ttf)

Did you try instead:

url(res:///Data/fonts/zw.ttf)

And that also needs the folder in the root of READER to be "fonts". (Change the case and add the "s".)

I'm not sure if case makes a difference in the path name. It definitely does in the font name.

If that does not work, you will need to ask someone with the Japanese version. Your firmware version is completely different than mine.

Yeah, I tried those paths and put fonts in both /FONT and /fonts
Still no help,

Thanks

Have you tried embedding fonts directly in the ePub with Calibre or Sigil?

It works, as I have done.

But I'd like to read books made by others,
if only I know the path, I can do a little change in css to make those books readable.
