To continue a little on the font/delay trade off, why is it that the libprs-500 embedded fonts look so much better ?

I'm not taking about subjective preferences, a 9 sherif embedded font for example has roughly the same character count as the Sony inbuild one (small size) but it's clearly much bigger, cleaner and bolder. Is it what other users have experiencing ?

Also, is any of the other recommended software capable of embedding similar fonts but with creating small delays in page turning ? The libprs-500 fonts take just too long to turn.

And you who've replaced the inbuilt fonts, would you recommend the process to a complete amateur ?! Is it equivalent to an embedded font with no page delay, or is there another problem cropping up ?

Many thanks in advance !
