Example: In libris500 in the "look and feel" menu there is section "Embedded fonts" "Serif; Sans-serif; Monospace" - when I go there and want to convert Cyrillic text, I choose Tms cyr as a font in all three sections. And that is all. That is how the things are working for me.
Good luck
Sorry for bumping the old thread, but can you (or someone else) help me with this? I don't want to flash my prs-505 (well, if i have a choice of course) so this method would be ideal for me.

I can't get it to work. First of all, do you have to install this "Tms cyr" font? Because i can't find it in Calibre.

Basically, i have RTF with russian text. Can i somehow convert it into LRF with embedded cyrillic font? What exactly should i do in Calibre to achieve that? No matter what font i use in Calibre, ebook Library cant display it properly (and as far as i understand, if it cant read it properly then neither can prs-505).

Thanks for any help
