You are correct that the res:///mnt/ext1/system/fonts is specific to PocketBooks. This seemed reasonable as paola's readers both appear to be PBs.

A Sony would need to be res:///Data/....

This is the situation I have myself, Sonys and a PB, and is why hacked firmware (PRSPlus on a Sony) is a better solution for me because the magic css file is a Sony version on both Sonys and a PB version on the PB. The same epub reads equally well on all devices. Horses for courses.

I'm not sure how you'd ever get round the problem that the user-accessible internal memory root is different on each device, res:///Data on a Sony, res:///mnt/ext1 on a PB... and who knows what else on a different reader
