@ripplinger,
I did it for the always on, always updating clock. The CSS was a just a plus.
@JR,
Ignore the hacking for a moment (it was a minor piece of the puzzle), CSS is not that hard to read or write. W3Schools has a good
tutorial on it. I highly recommend it.
now back to the hack -- if you haven't done it, no sweat, you just can't see or modify your device's CSS. The "pepak" hack folded into Boroda's ROM moves the device's CSS file to a user accessible folder. Any ROM that has pepak's hack included will do this (the folder name may be different, but it'll be there).
As to why you're not getting anywhere. From the symptoms you've been batting around, it's most likely you've got a bad font file.
IF your DaMa font is working, AND you've been careful about capitalization when you change out your font and folder names in the CSS, THEN the font file is probably your problem.
I got my font from
here.
KEEP IN MIND: if you make any typos or syntax errors in the epub's CSS, the device will revert to the default.
