3. Make sure you're working with a TrueType font, and NOT an OpenType one, because that will surely brick your reader. If you have an OT font, you can convert it to an OT font with TT outlines with FontCreator, and the Reader supports those (I'm running just such a font file on mine).
4. Place the file in the correct folder of the universal flasher.
That's it, from what I can see. You can only mess up one (or more) of those steps, I can't see where else you could go wrong. I got everything working on my first try, in a whole 15 minutes. No bricking, nothing. Had to reload my books again though, for correct pagination (although that is to be expected).
EDIT: If there's demand, I would be willing to write up a detailed, step-by-step guide (with screenshots) on how one can easily change their default fonts.

Hello, Valloric.
Did all that. Every single step, plus a few other ways posted around that always ended with my Reader bricked. Only thing I have not tried is replacing the letters from Dutch one by one with the one I want (Futura Lt Bt), that was suggested right before holidays. Right now I am creating reader size PDFs out of docs, that allow for a simpler formating of the text and, with the font I want, turn the pages much faster than LRFs.
A thorough explanation of the process could come handy, but I think the success of the replacement procedure depends on the font you pick. Futura is TT.
