Hello,

I've been searching and reading font related threads for a while now, looking for an answer to that question. I have a 650 with the latest PRS+, and would like to try replacing the default font. I've read Valloric's excellent guide for the 505, as well as a number of others, and I'm pretty sure I understand the various methods available for changing fonts.

I would like to follow Valloric's procedure (also referenced in the PRS+ wiki), but before I do I would like to verify that the 650's font names are still "Dutch801 Rm BT", "Swis721 BT", and "Courier10 BT". And with the following filenames: "tt0011m_.ttf", "tt003m_.ttf", and "tt0419m_.ttf".

The font topic gets a lot of flogging, so forgive me if I seem to be going over old ground. I haven't been able to find any place that explicitly indicates that all the Sony models use the same fonts and font filenames. If the price for being wrong wasn't a brick, I would just go ahead and experiment.

Thanks,

Denver
