"Screenshots" attached, with exaggerated fonts to make it clear that it works (the reason "Bold italicized text" is not italicized in one of the images is that I had no bold-italic file for that font, so i set the bold file as bold-italic).

As you can see, the "Selected Font Type" thingy does not show the custom font name for now; it consists of a bunch of hard coded button resources and so requires a bit of extra work to replace.

File: http://morkl.se/reader/readermod_v2.zip (contains loose apk as well as installer for non-rooted devices; and fonts folder with sample settings)
This new mod works quite well overall. I did find one bug. When using the fonts.xml file to add/change what fonts are available via Sony's menu, after I select one of my installed fonts, the name displayed as to what font it is is a different name. The last font in the list gave me a title of Verdana.
