reading chinese
Hi again! I have got my Sony PRS-900, and the first impressions are good... well, maybe bit more than good. But, I am wondering if there is any way I could read my books in Chinese on it? Any idea?

There are 2 methods to display chinese on sony readers that i know of. I assume the same method for 600 will work for 900 too.
1. Embed the chinese font in pdf files or copy the chinese font into your reader and use epub css to refer to it. Refer to this thread -> ePub custom Fonts on 700, 505, 500, 300, 600. A common font that people like to use for chinese words is msyh.ttf. There are other fonts too but you have to find them yourself. 2. If you want the menu to also display chinese, you will have to hack it. I think it's not recommended as there are no firmware released yet if anything goes wrong. But if you're interested, here's the link - http://www.cnepub.com/discuz/viewthr...&fromuid=71728 |

Thank you, Toufubean, I will try the first method. I only want to read Chinese books on my reader, and I don't need the Chinese menu. Sony PRS-600 is sold in China, and with Chinese fonts as well, so I guess it should not be impossible to get the characters into PRS-900...
