Hi. Sorry if this question been asked previously, but couldn't find anything relating to this. I had just placed an order for a PRS650, and its my first ereader, so I do not have much experience on its formating, workings, etc...

I have a question in regards to the conversion of PDF to LRF. I converted some files using Calibre, and I set the font on the LRF to Caecelia, which is not native to the PRS650. I tested the converted LRF file on the Calibre reader, and the font shows up nicely. However, when I do load the file onto the PRS650, will the custom font be used, or will it convert back to Sony's default font? I am aware of posts which tells you how to add new fonts, but think those are more targeted to epubs. I was wondering if I still need to install the font type onto the PRS650 for it to show up on the LRF.

Thanks.
