This is a fascinating discussion and I have read a number of related threads on Mobileread. The answer I am seeking for my 650, which I do not see in these threads, is how to change the default font for viewing generic public domain PDFs. I don't plan to use ebooks or DRM, I just plan to read public domain PDF files. I don't want to reprocess thousands of PDFs. I just want the default font to either 1) be changed permanently, or 2) to set "Small" to a better size in between Small and Medium. I would even be happy just to change to the sans font in the reader and not add another font. Is there not a simple way to do this by modifying a couple of system files?
Thanks in advance.
P.S. thanks jswinden for that great tutorial, but it was for ebooks. Maybe you have one for the defaults...?
