but if i've understood the basic situation, it means that we would need an update to the firmware AND to eBook Publisher, to incorporate new fonts ? this is what it sounded like to me. but i also noticed that since ETI has taken over, there *have* been updates to the firmware in the past (from 3.3 tp 4.22 !) so maybe it's not completely hopeless after all... fingers crossed... out of curiosity, is there any way to know how much ROM the firmware occupies currently, and how much is available total ? i've never seen any way to take a look at the OS, since even when i connect the USB cable i don't seem to have access to anything via windows.

Yes, the firmware and eBook Publisher .dll would BOTH have to be updated. Per above post, the Russians have updated the firmware to include the Russian alphabet characters not present in the windows-1252 character set and use BookDesigner with their updated PubUtil.dll to map those characters for their use.
So, if they can do it, ETI surley could as well. Filling in the unsupported glyphs should not be a problem, though implementing brand new fonts could be. Just my two cents...
