The "Chinese iLiad with content source" post suggests using SSH (e.g. from a Desktop PC). This is probably the easiest method, if you have SSH working. An alternative is to use mrxvt - install version 0.4 from here. If you have a font on you CF card base directory, something like the following should then work in a mrxvt session on your iLiad:

Code:

ls /root/.font
cd /media/cf
ls *.ttf
cp *.ttf /root/.font
ls /root/.font

I have not checked the above command sequence (for example, I'm not 100% sure the "*" will act as a wildcard, so that "*.ttf" expands to a list of all local .ttf files). The ls (directory listing) commands are only there to check that the needed files are in place. Note that in mrxvt you can use the arrow keys to bring up previous commands, which can be edited and then rerun by hitting return (enter).
