In fact, the whole issue of Amazon locking down the Kindle fonts is not getting enough air-time. To not allow users to add their own fonts is going way too far. I am not aware of any other e-reader that has ever done that. It is possible to embed fonts, but it's a massive pain and a horrid kludge and and beyond the ability of the vast majority of users.

You can add fonts to your stock Nook ST? No, I didn't think so. I tried,and I could not do it, though when I rooted it, custom fonts worked fine. So don't compare that to a kindle as if its a feature of the nook. Yes the PW1 could be fixed for custom fonts. And it is disappointing that it doesn't work on the PW2. Embedding the fonts works great. I wonder if embedding fonts would work on an unrooted nook st? I no longer have mine to test.
So far,the only commonly available reader in the US that will take extra fonts is kobo. AFAIK.
