Well, I know that a pdf file may have fonts embedded but what if NO fonts are embedded, can you then display the text with your own font? I've flashed my reader with a georgia font and it is indeed there in LRF books but when I switch to a PDF file (which does NOT have any embedded fonts according to Adobe Acrobat), well, the text is in the same default sony Dutch. I wonder where sony gets the font from if I've changed the font file and it's not in the pdf book either. Or is it still there, even though not reported by Acrobat?

Does anybody know if one can do anything about it? And yes, it is indeed a text-pdf, not an image-based file.
