Please advise. Thank you.
According to this post, there are several Droid fonts already contained in your T1 (in /system/fonts). They are:

DroidSans-Bold.ttf (=> HelveticaNeueLTW1G-Bd)
DroidSans.ttf (=> HelveticaNeueLTW1G-Roman)
DroidSansArabic.ttf
DroidSansFallback.ttf
DroidSansHebrew.ttf
DroidSansMono.ttf
DroidSansThai.ttf
DroidSerif-Bold.ttf
DroidSerif-BoldItalic.ttf
DroidSerif-Italic.ttf
DroidSerif-Regular.ttf

You can access these fonts by adding appropriate @font-face statements into each epub. e.g.
Code:
@font-face {font-family: serif; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;  src: url(res:///ebook/fonts/DroidSerif-Regular.ttf)}
@font-face {font-family: serif; font-weight: normal; font-style: italic;  src: url(res:///ebook/fonts/DroidSerif-Italic.ttf);}
@font-face {font-family: serif; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal;  src: url(res:///ebook/fonts/DroidSerif-Bold.ttf);}
@font-face {font-family: serif; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;  src: url(res:///ebook/fonts/DroidSerif-BoldItalic.ttf);}
or, another example, the following works for those who want to read in Chinese (and probably other languages):
Code:
@font-face {font-family: serif, sans-serif, monospace; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;  src: url(res:///ebook/fonts/DroidSansFallback.ttf)}
You could experiment to see which Droid fonts work with your chosen language. You would need to use the T1's default epub reader and set the Font type to 'Original'.

Your T1 does not need to be rooted to try this.
