This is about my PRS 350. Most of my reading is PDF's in reflow mode. After about three weeks, I do not like the default fonts on the 350.

So I searched and found two different ways to change the fonts.
1. Copy fonts. Then change the CSS style sheet for the ePub
2. Reflash with Baroda firmware and change the default font

Since #1 is for ePub only, I did not even try it. I reflashed my device with the Russian fw last night. But, the PDF reflow font did not change. Does anyone know if it only uses the font mentioned in the PDF? It seems to me that it is using the default Sony Serif font. So there should be a way to change that. Am I missing something? Please tell me that I am. As it stands, the (Serif) font in zoom M seems too light and the difference between zoom M and zoom L is too much. I wonder if I can copy some Windows 7 fonts like Calibri, Consolas and such and get a better looking text? Anyone tried this for PDF reflow?

Thanks in advance.
