Gentium Plus on Sony -- support for most non-Eastern languages

I tried putting Gentium Plus (free) on my Sony Pocket Reader at:

/fonts/GentiumPlus/GentiumPlus-I.ttf
/fonts/GentiumPlus/GentiumPlus-R.ttf

and then put @font-face declarations in my html source -- I could just have well done it in the Calibre CSS overide section, I guess.

Gentium Plus supports European Languages -- including Eastern European and Russia, not Eastern Languages such as Chinese and Japanese.

Very happy result. See attached test of "all the world's languages."

(Works compiled to epub by Calibre default mode.)

PS: Don't know why this approach would invalidate anything -- since @font-face IS supported by IDPF -- so, my understanding is that this approach is "completely legal."
