You can make your own books in BookDesigner and embed the font you want to use. This produces LRF files (the native format for the Sony) that are larger than they would be without the embedded font and the page turns take a bit longer. Otherwise you could make custom sized PDF files (like those from Feedbooks) that use your favored font.

There was some discussion about replacing the base fonts in the PRS-500 but as I remember that option is not available for the firmware of the 505.

By the way, the fonts in the Reader are from Bitstream and are Dutch (the TNR clone) and Swiss (the Helv or Ariel clone.)
