Fonts on the PRS-600
Hello,

I was wondering if it was possible to put my own fonts on the PRS-600, similar to the PRS-505, without having to embed them into the epub.

Or an even easier way would be great. I am not a fan of the default sony font, unfortunately

There are many posts on how easy it is to change fonts with Calibre and ePub, which is my favorite format. To sum it make sure that you have a fonts folder in your readers root directory or data directory and use the following code in the extra css portion of Calibre:

@font-face {
font-family:"MinionPro";
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
src:url(res:///Data/fonts/MinionPro-MediumDisp.otf);
}
@font-face {
font-family:"MinionPro";
font-weight: bold;
font-style: normal;
src:url(res:///Data/fonts/MinionPro-SemiboldDisp.otf);
}
@font-face {
font-family:"MinionPro";
font-weight: normal;
font-style: italic;
src:url(res:///Data/fonts/MinionPro-MediumItDisp.otf);
}
@font-face {
font-family:"MinionPro";
font-weight: bold;
font-style: italic;
src:url(res:///Data/fonts/MinionPro-SemiboldIt.otf);
}

body {font-family:"MinionPro", serif;
}

Choose your favorite fonts and go crazy...

Thank you.

Out of curiosity, where can I obtain the otf files? I thought they were only available at ttf?

OTF (Open Type Font) and TTF (TrueType Font) are both supported.

Has anyone ever bothered to ask Adobe if there is a global CSS file (similar to what iSilo provides) so that I can edit a single file on the device and modify all ePubs (including commercial ones)? Sure would be nice...

Er... I tried your CSS thing in Calibre, but can't seem to get it to work. Does it only work on epub files?

What am I doing wrong

It is ePub-specific, as far as I know.

When using Calibre, you may want to look into the "Embed Fonts" option under "LRF Output". I think this option uses the fonts installed on your system.

I am most interested in having Chinese ePub made with Calibre and read on PRS600. But I tried and cannot get it to work. Please provide details on your method of reading Chinese ePub on PRS 600. Thanks.

I get Chinese ePub displayed in PRS 600 eventually!

In 1.05d or 1.05f, Porkupan has already hacked the PRS 600 to read ePub using the 3 styles defined by Porkupan. Those are userStyle, userStyle.dflt, userStyle.droid. Just edit these Styles and put in whatever Chinese fonts in both the Styles and \ePub\Font folder. Do not use extra CSS in Calibre.

It is that simple! But Porkupan never explain that in any manuals. Those are designed to display Russian. For Chinese display, these all need to be replaced. Special thanks must be extended to Porkupan.

the problem after installing the Porkupan 1.05 is that it DOES NOT support chinese system font, so all titles and TOC are unreadable.

The old 1.04 by modified by HiPDA uses Chinese system font, so titles and TOCs work, but there is no ePub folder

how do I get the newest Porkupan and Chinese system font to work together?

please help
