ah, i see.
There are two types of 'hacks' being discussed on the russian forum.
The first one is a simple 'russification' of the reader, which allows cyrillics to be displayed correctly and also offers a couple of other extra tweaks, like an ability to allocate different functions to Zoom and Options buttons.
I think this must be the hack you've installed. I didnt realiase it offers anything in regards to font changes. This hack DOES NOT cause any battery drain as far as i know (thats what i have on my 350 right now and the battery is fine). I HAVE been able to change the font using CSS tweaking in Calibre, but i dont think it has anything to do with modified firmware.
And there is also another hack, which i think at this stage is for older models only. This one changes interface completely, is FB2 friendly and allows font changes on the reader directly (i think). Thats the one that causes battery drain. Now, i might be wrong, since i havent followed the discussion in detail.
I dont think anyone has attemped to install this on 350/650 models, but the latest version is apparently coming out soon, which will be for newer models specifically.
Myself personally, i will attempt it once its out, if only for FB2!!
