Seyprs,
there are two types of fonts used
A) System-fonts used to render the UI (UserInterface), text, rft and lrf located in the firmware path: opt/sony/ebook/FONT
files are: tt0003m_.ttf; tt0011m_.ttf, tt0419m_.ttf
neither the original Sony, nor the PRS+ fonts support chinese.
To enable chines you have to replace the fw-font folder with another one holding at least one with a extended font.
This font has to meet several "formal aspects" (read
*VERY* detailed guide on changing default Reader fonts)
To "mount" your file you need to put a boot-script "
prsp.sh" into database/system/PRSPlus (folder should already exist, otherwise create it. Attention all case-sensitive)
prsp.sh needs *nix-line break and should look something like that:
Code:
cp /Data/FONT /tmp
mount --bind /tmp/FONT /opt/sony/ebook/FONT
or if your font-files are realy huge try mounting it direct from IM
Code:
mount --bind /Data/FONT /opt/sony/ebook/FONT
(where /Data/ referes to the IM, so you will see just the folder /FONT in explorer)
Note: by only putting these three files into /FONT you will find that dictionary will show up blank. This is due to a missing symlink, but this is another story.
B) filetypes which can handle embedded or external fonts
These are PDF (for embedded fonts) and epub supporting both - probably the easier way
To save me typing this twice please read ahead

PS: I know this is somewhat confusing and my English isn't the best too.
And eventually we should compile all this infos and steps into the WIKI.
PPS: in case of emergency: There is PRS+ "Safe Mode":
If the reader is started while connected to USB, PRS+ will not start, and the startup-script (prsp.sh) will not be executed, too. So if anything goes wrong, reset your reader, connect to USB, restart. Edit/remove prsp.sh. Restart once again.
