Code:
cp /Data/<ANYFONT.ttf> /tmp
mount --bind /tmp/<ANYFONT.ttf> /opt/sony/ebook/FONT/tt0011m_.ttf
Replace <ANYFONT.ttf> with your font and place this font in the root of IM (AKA /Data/)

The font had to be prepared to meet some requirements, best with pepaks tool here
Having created various bindings it seems to make no difference. My Japanese plain text is coming up 'greek'. Can I confirm my understanding of the command as I can find no clear description of what the binding does. Does it mean that every attempted access to /opt/sony/ebook/FONT/tt0011m_.ttf will be redirected to /tmp/<ANYFONT.ttf>? I've redowngraded and reinstalled PRS+ without flashing fonts with PRS Customizer and I'm running the following to access three full fonts in the directory indicated:

Code:
mount --bind /Data/MYFONT/tt0003m_.ttf /opt/sony/ebook/FONT/tt0003m_.ttf
mount --bind /Data/MYFONT/tt0011m_.ttf /opt/sony/ebook/FONT/tt0011m_.ttf
mount --bind /Data/MYFONT/tt0419m_.ttf /opt/sony/ebook/FONT/tt0419m_.ttf
