Hi Shousa,
I considered changing the fonts, but have not bothered since I find PDF does an acceptable job as long as you embed the font or convert to images.

In the past (prior to the firmware upgrade) the problem was that after about 40 pages of Japanese text the entire document would become blank. I have not experienced this since the recent upgrade, but have only performed limited tests.

My current process is (using Aozora texts with some rubi) to open the file on my Mac with BlueSkyReader which rendered the text nicely. I resize the window to the size of the reader screen and then output to HTML. This creates individual GIFs which I then just "print" to PDF and copy over to the PRS505.

Regards,
Marcus
