@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...

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.
