SONY PRS950 for Chinese - problem with book title
I bought a Sony PRS950, I would like to be able to read English and Chinese ooks. I managed to hack the PRS950 by installing the Russian boroda s/w Version 1.05f.
I can now read Chinese (ePub and PDF), but the problem is I cannot read the Chinese book titles, they all appear as 口口口口, can anyone help me?????? |

http://projects.mobileread.com/reade...lash_packages/ Just download the firmware from the above link. PART1: We will update the firmware that allows ePubs to reference any fonts we choose: 1.) Plug in PRS950 & extract the download above to a folder (ie: C:\temp) 2.) Start Menu-> RUN (you shud see a new window titled "RUN") 3.) in the RUN window, type CMD 4.) a command prompt should open 5.) go to the folder you extracted to (ie: cd C:\temp) 6.) type flash_reader.bat 7.) follow the on screen instructions 8.) once complete, unplug & soft reset the PRS 950 PART 2: We install the font and tell the system about it download: http://cid-bc90d6def7466f68.skydrive...%5E_PRS505.rar http://www.hi-pda.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=397115 1.) Plug the PRS and copy the extracted fonts into the X:\epub/FONT/ (X being the READER drive) tt0003m_.ttf (modified) ttoo11m_.ttf (modified) tt0419m_.ttf (undodified) 2.) Inside X:\epub, rename the existing userStyle.css to userStyle.css.BAK 3.) open the useStyle.css.BAK with a text editor (notepad) and replace it with the following: @font-face { font-family: -ua-default; src:url(res:///Data/epub/FONT/tt0011m_.ttf); } @font-face { font-family: "sans-serif1"; src:url(res:///Data/epub/FONT/tt0003m_.ttf); } h1 { font-family: sans-serif1, sans-serif; } 3. use save as, and save this file as userStyle.css 4. After you do all above, load a Chinese epub file to your reader and test it out. references: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=83041 http://www.hi-pda.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?fid=59 please ask Hi-PDA to create a PRS950 firmware with chinese system font. Localization of menus aren't necessary, but at least be able to read titles and table of contents. Last edited by jessie102; 12-15-2010 at 10:08 PM. |

Chinese support for Sony PRS950
I have made a package for Sony PRS950 to support simplified Chinese in reading, directory listing, song listing, web surfing, you can download and setup in your device. In this web address you can get the file:
http://u.sohu.com/download/11/12929978754351203428327 And I wrote a PDF file to show the status of the PRS950 after it been updated, you can read it before you decide to update: http://u.sohu.com/download/11/12929998076044141350013 The method to update is same as what you have tried before: 1.) Plug in PRS950 & extract the download above to a folder (ie: C:\temp) 2.) Start Menu-> RUN (you shud see a new window titled "RUN") 3.) in the RUN window, type CMD 4.) a command prompt should open 5.) go to the folder you extracted to (ie: cd C:\temp) 6.) type flash_reader.bat 7.) follow the on screen instructions 8.) once complete, unplug & soft reset the PRS 950 I wish this update will make you love your PRS950 more! Merry 2010 Christmas! 新年快乐! |
