Ummm... YES IT DOES MATTER! Remember, we've only got 64MB of internal memory for the owner's use. So stuffing 35 or 40 font families onto the Cybook will suck down the available memory to the point of uselessness.

And while arbitrary programming is not good, attempting to exceed physical limitations when those limitations are built-in is just plain stupid.

What I haven't done is experiment with putting font families onto the SD card. Now if that works....
